A Videotape Of The Gustavus Conference, In Case You Missed The Conference (And An Essential Souvenir In Case You Did Attend)

Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

Last spring, in anticipation of the considerable effort required to organize the coming June conference at Gustavus Adolphus College, your JBS Board in its wisdom decided to forego videotaping the sessions.: Then, just before the conference, we talked with Minneapolis member Michael Mayer who persuaded us to reconsider our decision: He pointed out that he had some excellent equipment that could be set up conveniently in Bjorling Hall, and offered to take charge of all the videotaping. Further, he would do the editing and take charge of getting the tapes copied and distributed.

Dear Reader, Dan Shea

Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

This Newsletter accompanies the biggest, tardiest issue of our Journal yet produced, in our three years of existence! When Mickey Dove was Editor, she made sure that the Spring issue appeared in March - that remains my goal too, for future issues, but my ambitions for this issue overwhelmed my schedule.
