The second level of the Lost & Found Sound collection explores how noted sound has formed and captured the annals of the previous 100 years. Sketching from the archives and attics of the nation, this historical and intimate assortment of radio documentaries presents a compelling array of sonic pioneers and legends, eccentric enthusiasts, and original American voices. Highlights include, haunting music letters from a soldier in the foxholes of Vietnam, the unusual story of Liberace and the Trinidad Tripoli Metal Music group, the voices and experiences of Mohawk iron workers at the planet Trade Centre, and a 1977 home saving created by Francis Ford Coppola and his five-year old girl Sofia. Funny, historical and deeply moving, this music time capsule of American life begs to be paid attention to again and again.
