Lost and Found Sound and Beyond: Stories from NPR's All Things Considered

"The second volume of the LOST & FOUND SOUND collection explores how recorded sound has shaped and captured the history of the last 100 years. Drawing from the archives and attics of the nation, this historic and intimate collection of radio documentaries presents a compelling array of sonic pioneers and legends, eccentric collectors, and original American voices. Highlights include, haunting audio letters from a soldier in the foxholes of Vietnam, the surprising tale of Liberace and the Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band, the voices and stories of Mohawk iron workers at the World Trade Center, and a 1977 home recording made by Francis Ford Coppola and his five-year old daughter Sofia. Funny, historic, and deeply moving, this audio time capsule of American life begs to be listened to again and again."

Jay Allison, The Kitchen Sisters (Author), Francis Ford Coppola (Narrator)

Lost and Found Sound

"On January 1, 1999, All Things Considered aired the first in a series of richly layered stories that trace the soundtrack of the 20th century. Broadcast weekly through 1999, continuing monthly through 2000, Lost & Found Sound chronicles, reflects, and celebrates the human experience in rare recordings and "sonic snapshots" submitted by listeners. Blending the historic with the everyday, the monumental with the personal, this is evocative, haunting, eclectic listening—endangered sounds, shifting accents, vanishing voices, home recordings, and audio artifacts that reveal a sense of place and mark the passage of time. Contents: • Tony Schwartz: 30,000 Recordings Later • Quest for Sound: Gettysburg Eyewitness • Fishman, Fishman Cigar Stories, narrated by Andy Garcia • Carnival Talkers • LBJ and the Helium-Filled Astronauts • Listening to the Northern Lights • West Virginia Steam Trains • Tennessee Williams: The Pennyland Recordings • Sound Restoration • The Partridge Family Grand Tour"
