Mark is the curator of the Celluloid Improvisations Music Film Archive, one of the nation's largest collections of 16mm films that focuses on American popular music and dance. Many of the films that will be shared in the ARSC presentation have not been screened in years, if not decades. While the focus will be jazz, other genres of music -- country music and Western Swing, blues, vaudeville, jazz dance, and pop -- will also be generously represented. COLLECTORS' ROUNDTABLE For this year's Friday night Collectors' Roundtable, participants are invited to bring a crate of records they would like to sell or trade, and/or a record or two for show and tell. A phonograph will be available for playing disc recordings. There's no special theme, just plan on some fun records and interesting discussion. The preliminary conference schedule (subject to change)
