Well We had concurrent sessions and still had to cut some papers! And if we didn't have them, the papers - including Mike's - which wasn't NOLa specific- might have been moved to next year. The GOOD NEWS is that ALL of the papers - including related powerpoint presentations will be available by mid to late summer FREE as streams or downloads on the ARSC WEbsite. So those that couldn't get to NOLa can warm up some gumbo or jambalaya and listen and watch - and then play some NOLA jazz and visit your local topless bar - and get the closest you can get to being there.



I have learned to accept the sessions competing and plan to hear the others when they are posted

I'm just a newbie on the ARSC block.  I didn't realize that it was a requirement that presentations should be locale related.  The ones I particularly enjoyed were the ones on Jussi Bjorling, Rennaisance music recordings, Wonder Records, phase problems related to reverse copying, record collectors round table and, of course, Mike Biel's on cover art; these presentations did not have any relationship to NOLA.  I also attended a number which were NOLA related, like Phantoms at the New Orleans opera and several jazz related ones.  I was actually considering putting a presentation together for next year but it would have nothing to do with Los Angeles, I'm thinking about one related to perceptions of sound, audio recording techniques, the role of the Phonograph in the home in the early days or something along those lines but perhaps I'll wait until I have more experience with ARSC.
