[ARSCLIST] "Men of HiFi" Harry Maynard tapes

["Richard L. Hess" <arclists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Historians!

In my Christmas card this year from Natalie and Harry Maynard, 
Natalie asks if I would know what to do with Harry's "Men of HiFi" 
radio show tapes.

Harry is getting on in years and Natalie (who is younger though I 
don't know by how much) is taking good care of him. I just got off 
the phone with her.

She hasn't yet dug them all out, so we don't know how many there are. 
Her first guess was 30-40, but I think it might be more. These were 
shortish segments on the ABC Radio Network and also longer shows (I 
was on one!) on WNYC. This is from the early-mid 1970s time frame (at 
least my show was).

I suspect the format is open reel, but I don't even know that with 
100% certainty.

Whoever wants this collection will need to get it from Westport CT, 
as I don't think either of them would want to pack and ship it (I 
could be wrong). I could possibly do that or arrange to have it done.

I would suggest digitizing the tapes upon acquisition -- I could of 
course do that <shameless plug>, but there are no strings related to 
my doing that attached.

I don't know about the copyright ownership of these recordings so I 
don't know if they could be redistributed. I could perhaps find out 
if that was important to the institution who might be interested in 
receiving these.

Cheers,

Richard
