Slide shows

[P3D Paul S. Boyer <boyer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I *loved* Norm Lehfeldt's summary of advice for good stereo
presentations.  It is equally good for any slide show.  That 
advice would make a good short article for the PSA Journal.
My favorite Line: "Above all,
avoid any more of that noodley, content-less "New Age"
music which has become a national pest."

One additional point: I have found many photographers are quite
sensitive to the rights to their work.  Slides are often
copyrighted jealously.  The same folks will put on a show
with no royalties paid to the copyright holders of the
music, and in most case no credits at all.  I would
suggest that permission be obtained, or at least
requested.  (Sometimes the copyright holder doesn't even answer
such requests, in which case I say "permission pending," for
what do I, a non-lawyer know about these things?)  Still,
since music is suchj a big partr of presentations, we should
honor the creativity of musical artists, just as others
should respect the rights of photographers.

I think that the copyrights run out after 75 years, so those
old cylinder records can presumably be used with impunity.
Amm I right?
