Looking into an old folder, I came across a flyer and tapes I had
recorded thirty years ago. The event was the "Fiddling and Bluegrass
Convention" in Huntsville, AL on 17 and 18 September 1976.
Now, I knew then and know now nothing about Bluegrass. Some of the
senior participants were clearly well-known names to the audience, but
I was there only to check out my brand-new (I'd say shiny, but it was
black) Nakamichi 550. I checked with one of the organizers who said it
was fine to record, so I set up the deck with a couple of reasonably
good tapes and caught six or eight hours of the proceedings.
My question is simple enough: is there a repository somewhere where
they will find a home or should I just pitch them out? More generally,
is there a way systematically to find a home for such orphans in other
fields?
