[Harp-L] More Adler Videos?

[icemanle@xxxxxxx]

Larry Adler was the guest of honor at a SPAH in the 1990's (perhaps around 94?). At that time, a video of his performance was made and included in the VHS tapes offered from SPAH that year. When I got involved w/SPAH, I made sure that copies of the this and many other important videos could be duplicated for sale and did, in fact, take them to sell, along with many other SPAH tapes, to a Buckeye. They were also offered at SPAH Conventions from 1996 - 2000. This type of valuable archival record was important to the philosophy of SPAH at the time, (the "P" in "SPAH" does stand for "Preservation" after all) containing much more than just Larry Adler performances.
 
With the sweeping changes that occurred to SPAH beginning in 2001, I have no idea what happened to these invaluable resources, if they are in SPAH archives somewhere, or if they are available for reproduction.
 
Perhaps those in charge of SPAH at this time may wish to consider the value of these tapes and find out what the status is. I'm sure many of you would love to have access to them.
