Last year I was invited to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum to take part in a special panel discussion about the Bob Pinson Recorded Sound Collection alongside country music scholar and discographer Tony Russell, the CMF's first full-time Director, Bill Ivey, and moderated by historian Patrick Huber. I shared a few of my thoughts on the greatest collection of country music recordings, some of the nitty gritty of collecting and curating, and a few of the challenges surrounding access and engagement.
I was then invited to select and spin a few of my favorite records from the collection alongside museum archivist and curator Alan Stoker. We played and talked about some rare Vogue, Bluebird, Sterling, Starday, and Black Patti 78s and I had a blast.
The panel was titled "The Bob Pinson Recorded Sound Collection at Age Fifty" and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum just uploaded the entire video. You can check it out in its entirety here:
