Kevin Keller loves the old songs, and the old judges, and the way the old judges judged the old songs in the old days. The past C&J Chair is heading a team that is searching for old materials that help describe the evolution of our judging system.
Says Kevin:
I appreciate everyone’s help in trying to uncover old judging documents. We’re still in search of any materials to fill in gaps. As you clean out your closets, boxes and file cabinets, let me know of any of your finds. Obviously, Harmonizer articles are available online, but any sort of letters associated with judging, anecdotes as to why changes in the rules were made, etc. are greatly appreciated. Please drop me a line if you have anything of interest!
