Collecting 78 RPM Records

Sunday, March 15, 2009
2 to 4 PM

Silver Spring, Maryland

Members: $10
Nonmembers: $15

Deco music on CD is fine, but it's more fun to collect it on the 
original format: 78s! Spend an afternoon with collector Neil Gladd 
learning about recognizing and collecting 78s from the Art Deco period, 
and a brief history of recording up to that point. (How many of you 
knew that the record disc was invented in Washington, DC?) The 
discussion will cover what labels to look for, clues to dating the
recordings (which were almost always undated) and, of course, listening
to the music!

Neil Gladd, is a professional musician, and a collector of 78s, popular 
sheet music of the 20s and 30s, and Art Deco in general. From 1991 to 
1998, he worked in the Recorded Sound Section of the Library of 
Congress, America's record collection!

Space is limited. Advance reservations required.

Location: Walking distance from Silver Spring Metro. Directions provided
upon registration.
