Thank you to everyone who sent me photograph items for my presentation on Music of the Great War. Our community college in Springfield Illinois (Lincoln Land Community College) had a symposium entitled "Bringing "Over There" Back Here". We had an attendance of 120 people on a Saturday morning. The audience was diverse and made up of school age children all the way to older individuals who had had ancestors in the war. The program had sessions on the history, an interview with Woodrow Wilson and a reading of letters sent about the Christmas Truce of 1914. I did a combination Power Point Presentation on Sheet Music and photos and played CD copies as well as period records on phonographs. I am going back to work tomorrow to see if I can post the Power Point presentation on the web for you to see. What was amazing was that my Victrola 9 and Columbia Favorite could be heard though out the auditorium with ou It was well received and had the young boys to my left smiling and tapping their feet and the grumpy guy behind me singingt a microphone. I chose these two machines because these models were shown in some photos. I alternated the real records with some excerpts from CD's put out by Archeophone (especially their landmark CD ==the Great War". One of my colleagues said to me after the program "It was well received and had the young boys to my left smiling and tapping their feet and the grumpy guy behind me singing". Quite a few audience members came up to talk to me. I could never have done this without the help from this board and the MAPS members. Everyone was very generous in sharing their photos. Thank you!
