Recordings

*** Most files are behind login *** Mostly Cassette audio recordings. Mostly from Bob Kastelic in the 1970's and 1980's. Tape n - Side n. Some Slovenian Music or button box playing, some interviews with Jordan siblings -- some in Slovenian, some in English.
Most were extracted from a large collection of tapes in Bob Kastelic's home. All originals have since been sent to use from Bob Jr after his father's death. Two of the tapes are supplied by Lillian Aubert. Those originals and more have since been sent to us by Roland Aubert upon his mother's death. One recording from Bob seems to be from Joe Legan interviewing his mother Franca Legan. A better, more complete copy has since been supplied via CD-ROM by Susanne Mimms.

Most tapes were in pretty poor shape. Thanks to AtoZaudio in Cleveland for the care to recover these "lost" works. Involved re-tensioning, putting into new cases, splicing, cleaning the tape itself, flattening tape that had been twisted and wound around capstans, duplicating masters, and so on. All the originals (or repaired originals) are back with the owners. A master copy of each tape was made and then converted to MP3.
If you find something that should be redacted or otherwise can identify people, times or events; or transcribe; please let us know.
