What is the history, of the "Loarfest" events ? I am aware of some of the particulars, but I would love to see/read the realities surrounding these events....
Who's idea was it and what is the back story making it happen...
Who talked to whom, over how many drinks.... how did it really get traction...
How was the venue decided... Bakersfield ??
How were Loar owners contacted
What did it cost
Was it meant to be a annual event
Where did the tapes of the 16? Loars go... if it ever existed
What was the recorded list of Loars present
Was there any recording of the proceedings other than the semi complete ones you can access here?
Is there any repository of photos out there that could be shared
What has come of any talk for another "fest"
These two? events were such a remarkable, historical, academic, and joyous occurrence, I would love to read an account of these and other recollections... perhaps with ref to other threads, that cover some of these things, but all linked together...
If all this has been covered, and my lack of ability and patience with the search engine has just forced my hand, my apologies ...
thanks
