1959 Sedalia Concert/Interview starring Arthur Marshall FEAT. Chauf Williams & G Tom Ireland

Описание: A million thanks to Reginald R. Robinson for sharing this, originally received from Trebor Tichenor.
Bob Darch and Trebor Tichenor conducted this November 1959 Concert/interview in Sedalia, MO. The guest of Honour was Arthur Marshall, a ragtime composer that worked with Scott Joplin in the early days. Clarinet player G. Tom Ireland is present but does not speak. Chauf Williams also steps onto stage to talk, sing, and play. A funny story from Trebor tells about how Bob Darch were sweating bullets due to the subjects that Chauf spoke about, as well as the fact that a revolver handle was visible in his back pocket. One hand was on the curtain rope, ready to shut down the show.
The concert recordings do not transition very smooth, there is an abrupt transition to the interview after the concert with Marshall. It ends abruptly. Not the best recording equipment, but no complaints, just observation.

For the first several minutes, Arthur speaks about Sheet music, Scott Joplin, etc to the audience.
