Notes:
I barely heard Melba Boyd saying that it was not her first time that she is at Osnabrück University at the beginning of side one. Due to the poor quality, it's not quite clear if she said Osnabrück University, but considering my background knowledge about this collection and what I heard, I decided to put it as a location.
CONTENT
NOTES
Type:
General
Note:
On the first side, Melba Boyd is mainly reading from her own works (poetry); on the second side, Ray Orley gives a speech regarding the conference and expresses his personal feelings and ideas regarding the symposium he'd been supporting.
Type:
General
Note:
The quality of Melba Boyd's reading poetry part is poor although it improves once Ray Orley begins his speech.
Type:
General
Note:
The facilitator's last name of this conference is mentioned by Ray Orley at 5:40 on the second side; It's hard to hear due to low quality.
