I've always wanted to be a modern day Alan Lomax and in a tiny way I am sort of in that I've been recording the music of local peformers for the last 10 years via video tape and have about 17,000 of them recorded. I need to start doing better audio recordings of it all though as now I just use the audio from the video tapes which is hit or miss. I'd like to do the same around the world as well. I'd really love to record at least 1 JPF member live from every single country on the planet. But some are very dangerous and some don't even allow Americans in. Not sure I want to risk my life for that.
Isn't it also kind of sad that the acts of murderers have been immortalized, but so rarely do the acts of good people get remembered? And it's no different today. Most of history is told through the acts of warmongers and tyrants, not of the great good that has been done. That's quickly forgotten. Brian
