Re: [ARSCLIST] Bluegrass repository?
Speaking of Bill Knowlton, I was going to post a bit of news about him
this week. Bill was recently inducted into the Syracuse Area Music
Awards (know as the SAMMYS) Hall of Fame, for his years of promoting
bluegrass music both on his radio show and in yearly festivals.
Congratulations, Bill

If they are being toseed, I'd love to hear them on the way to the bin!
I work wirh Bluegrass today the way you do with opera, and could at the
very least find out about who they are - I work with several players
who did play with Bill Monroe and could find a good home for them -
though I do not knwo of a repository orr archivist, never having seen
tapes older than my own from KPFA in the same era... 74-82.
Thanks,
