Thanks for the forward.
I loved the line, "I initially earmarked all of my archives to the Library of Congress, and will continue to give them some, but the materials are not always easily accessible there."
Speaking for myself, a collector and a former curator, that is always a frustration in dealing with the nature of archives...and yes, I am all too familiar with the copyrights...and the sheer volume of materials one can acquire. If there would ever be an organization more "open" I would feel comfortable donating my own collection.
As a sidelight to the mention of his discovery of the treasure trove of Levant recordings, Michael made copies for me of the lacquers of Levant's own compositions...so thankfully those can circulate...as I like to say..."under the radar."
