—————-

Thanks to my brother, Thomas Beversdorf III who gathered all extant recordings of STB’s music, including old LPs and reel-to-reel tapes going back to the 1950′s, and digitally restored them, note by note, to eliminate warping, popping and scratches.  Most of the performers are faculty or graduate students at Indiana University’s renowned School of Music (now Jacob’s School of Music).
