"There is no business like (audio) show business" .......... Irving Berlin :-) ..........
To kick things off, Jason Victor Serinus examines the state of audio shows in North America and Ken Micallef wraps the issue up with a review of classic and ground-breaking John Coltrane recordings from 1963.
And with high-end newsstands fewer on the ground these days, you can always find Stereophile at Barnes & Noble.
"There is no business like (audio) show business" .......... Irving Berlin :-) ..........
It is like 'show and sing' :-) ..........
These Shows are becoming "Institutional" type Advertising that various outfits need to do to keep their Brand Visible.
I organized an 1985 Audio Show in the Detroit Area which was already well past Home Audio's Prime years of 1960's to 1980ish.
I haven't heard this one's consumer attendance numbers, yet. ( anyone know ? )
I imagine the Event another flop, I hope I'm wrong but record player people being the Show's "higher-authority" is getting off on the Wrong Foot.
If the organizers get a percentage ( like they're supposed to ) they'll hit their break even point. The Exhibitors pay for the entire Event.
( hiring HR & Steve G to sign Autographs would've been the biggest draw & something I certainly would have tried to arrange )
