Nov 18, 2008 - I don't volunteer at fest, although some of my friends do. Try CDBaby for CDs. What committee are you on? I recorded these from the reserved seating section.

Nov 18, 2008 - I spoke to Gene Shay last year about releasing some of the archival footage from previous years. They started videotaping every performer in 1985, so there should be some really great stuff in those archives. I don't know where that project stands, but Gene (who started "Sliced Bread" record) thought that it might be doable if there was enough interest in the project.
