We MAPS members may only have 3 hours there, but at least we can do it EVERY YEAR! :) Ray Ray: For many of us it was a once in a lifetime experience including two meals there and a private organ concert. Adding that to the great talks on phonos and records - the Rolfs - seeing a new ARCHIVAL cylinder box which may be produced as cheap as $1.50 each! And getting free advance copies of the new Archeophone CD of "dirty recordings", made this one heck of a fun 4 days! Oh yes, some of made a trek to Grafton to see the remains of the Paramount plant and hoist a toast to the legendary recording artists who recorded there. Next year is in Palo Alto and I hope those on the West Coast can join us. SOME DAY I'll get to Union but - for now - this will suffice.
