Phil Larson is working with me on the book project, digitizing and organizing the audio tracks that we have collected for the archives. It is our intention to produce a compilation CD or DVD as a companion to the Beaux Arts Book.

We are collecting audio and video materials for three distinct purposes:

1.     Inclusion on a compilation CD – If you have a good quality sound track that you would like us to consider, please send it for review. Be aware that all material that is chosen will need the proper permission at the time it is approved.

2.     Inclusion in the Beaux Arts archives – If you have material that is of historical, or any other significance to the beaux artists and their audience and fans, please send it, or send a link, and we will accept it into our virtual gallery. Please add any stories about the artists or the performance that you like. Send photos and copies of posters, flyers, ads or whatever you feel goes with the music.

3.     Links to web sites, recordings and videos on the web, or anything else of interest.

Pass this along to anyone you know who may not be connected to the web.
