[78-L] ARSC Conference 2010 -- Call for Presentations -- Deadline Reminder

[Tim Brooks]

Wasn't it a Victor record scout who supposedly visited New Orleans in the 
1910s looking for talent and sent back the message "there is no jazz in New 
Orleans"?
 
Some of us were down there in October and the place is really great, dl 
is right about that. Not only the music, and the sights, but the food was 
fabulous. They've really made an effort to make it visitor-friendly post 
Katrina.
 
And presentations are welcome on all recording-related subjects, in any genre of music or speech. That's the 
ARSC gumbo.
 
So if you're thinking of heading south in May, get your proposals in. The 
d/l (that's deadline) is January 4th.

discovered in a New York basement in 
1910 by Al Jolson and that it all sounded 
like Bob Crosby.

This ought 
to be a great location.
