Capital City Conference - Des Moines Iowa May 2010
Bill W speaking at the 34th. anniversary in NY. 1969, followed a very brief speak at the 5th. International in Miami FL. July 1970
I have aggressively modified the audio quality of this recording, it was very poor to start with. The audio quality from begining to end also varied wildly, the sound wave looked like 3 different recordings.
I removed a nasty hum and a good amount of background noise, adjusted the levels and on some of the applause sections decreased the punishingly harsh volume, same thing on a couple of sections of organ music (it was painful).
There are a few sections where it is difficult to hear what Bill is saying.
Dr. Bob's last major talk in Detroit, MI. Dec. 1948, this had a pretty nasty hum in the background, I managed to get most of that out. Considering the year it was recorded, once the hum was removed its a pretty good recording, it ends a little abruptly.
North Oakland AA, first speaker is BobaTunday for 10 min followed by the main speaker, Dorothy (sober in 2002)
November 2016
Frank S, one of the first 100 members of AA, 44 years sober at the time of this speak. No info about where or when this was recorded. It is an older recording and I removed as much background noise as I could, it sounds a little hollow but it is listenable.
Chuck C speaking for about 50 min at Clancy I's 20th AA birthday at the pacific group, followed by Clancy speaking for a few min. Recorded in 1978.
Yolanda V. telling her story at SNL Friday night speaker mtg. San Jose in 2002, she was 9+ years sober at the time of her speak.
