    About this audiobook

    On January 1, 1999, All Things Considered aired the first in a series of richly layered stories that trace the soundtrack of the 20th century. Broadcast weekly through 1999, continuing monthly through 2000, Lost #38; Found Sound chronicles, reflects, and celebrates the human experience in rare recordings and quot;sonic snapshotsquot; submitted by listeners. Blending the historic with the everyday, the monumental with the personal, this is evocative, haunting, eclectic listening-endangered sounds, shifting accents, vanishing voices, home recordings, and audio artifacts that reveal a sense of place and mark the passage of time.Contents:#149; Tony Schwartz: 30,000 Recordings Later#149; Quest for Sound: Gettysburg Eyewitness#149; Fishman, Fishman Cigar Stories, narrated by Andy Garcia#149; Carnival Talkers#149; LBJ and the Helium-Filled Astronauts#149; Listening to the Northern Lights#149; West Virginia Steam Trains#149; Tennessee Williams: The Pennyland Recordings#149; Sound Restoration#149; The Partridge Family Grand Tour
