----- to this I would add Keller's autobiography, which is absolutely 
indispensable:

"Reflections of a Stereo Pioneer"
San Francisco Press Inc.1986.

Unfortunately it is by now quite elusive.

One interesting bit for this circle of ARSCLIST-members:

On p. 99 Keller tells us about the hubbub after the re-issue in 1979, and 
says: "...... Then came a lively question-and-answer session ........, 
including a representative from the Voice of America. (I never did find out 
what the VOA representative did with the interview he recorded with me).

Now, either Mike Gray was that representative and has the interview or he 
might be able to get hold of it through connections. Any chance that this 
might be uploaded similarly?

Kind regards,


George
