ARSC Finalists 2007
« on: April 06, 2007, 09:30:11 AM »
I don't know if this is the correct forum for this but the following was posted at the prewar blues forum by Mary Katherine Aldin. I thought parts of it may be of interest here. There appears to be one hell of a lot of all manner of music authorship going on out there.....

ARSC is pleased to announce the  finalists for the 2007 ARSC Awards for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research. Winners will be announced  at a ceremony on May 5, 2007, during  ARSC's annual conference in Milwaukee. Additional information about the  annual conference and the ARSC Awards for Excellence can be found at  www.arsc-audio.org.

Begun in 1991, the awards are presented to authors and publishers of books, articles, liner notes, and monographs, to recognize outstanding published research in the field of recorded sound. In giving these awards, ARSC recognizes  outstanding contributions, encourages high standards,  and promotes awareness of superior works.
