Bob George The Archive of Contemporary Music's founder and director was scheduled to participate in a "Making Vinyl Hollywood" panel discussion I moderated last fall, so to prep for it I called Mr. George and proposed a visit to the Archive during which we'd discuss his participation. As you'll see in the video, by the time I visited last September I'd forgotten the reason for the visit!

The Archive houses more than 3 million records. It's an incredible resource and repository in lower Manhattan but rising rents are forcing it to move, plus it's heavily in debt. It's yet to find that new home. Today (January 3rd, 2020), The New York Times published an online story about The Archive that will appear in this weekend's print edition, so today seemed like the perfect day to post the video.
