[Phono-L] Looking for the Vernon Dalhart Book

[Douglas Houston]

The society has had almost no meetings this year, or last year, either. I
mean locally.In the past, there was a get-together at someone's place,
where we could see their things, have refreshments, and usually, a program
of some sort. The club hasn't had a  modicum of leadership for probably 5
years. No meetings, the only events are now, Union, San Filippo's, events
in distant places......there's nothing going on ion Michigan. Phonovention
will never be in Michigan again, though that doesn't constitute decay.  The
ones who should care about it, don't. If you call lunch at a sports bar, in
a skull-crushing sound level, a "meeting", that's what we've had a couple
of this year. Maybe you have a different take on it, but those are my
thoughts.
