[78-L] NJ Audio Society - Wax Cylinder Recording Session, Sunday, Oct 21, 3:00 in Montclair, NJ

[David Lennick]

On behalf of the Canadian Antique Phonograph Society, which will be sitting 
around eating donuts and keeping hands in pockets instead of bidding on good 
records and machines that afternoon (bunch'a pikers), will this event be 
recorded or, dare I ask, streamed?
