Dick,

I am setting up a site for streaming to be used with our undergraduate =
labs.
If no one else steps forward I would be glad to post the talks if
permissions are given.

Greetings,

Brian Holmes spoke to the Ohio Section of AAPT which I videoed. He also =
had
a section in the afternoon. At the present time, I am converting the VHS =
to
DVD format. His topic was: "The Physics of Brass Musical Instruments".
=20
When done, I can make some copies and make them available. Or, is there
someone who has the ability to make it available on the web?
=20
Does anyone know Brian's email address so I could ask his permission to =
do
this?
=20
An alternative. I plan to go to AAPT meeting this summer and could bring
copies then.
