James L. Carter aka “Rev. Cool”: Video (MP4), 2019 Mar 14
Scope and Contents
The majority of the collection consists of oral history interviews conducted with local musicians from 2017 to 2019. Individual interview files include digital video (MP4), transcript, and release form. Most text-based materials (such as transcripts and release forms) are available in both paper and electronic format. The files for Story Circle 1, a group interview with more than a dozen artists, include audio-only recordings (MP3), as well as administrative documentation, in addition to video, transcript, and release forms. Interviews were conducted by either archivist Chris Wydman or Public History student Matthew Mercer (as part of his capstone project).
Topics of discussion include the background and musical influences of the individual artists; band histories; notable venues, events, bands, and individuals in the local music scene; and reflections on the early history, major influences, distinctive qualities, and evolution of the Dayton music scene from the mid-1900s to 2019.
