Jimmy Polizzi likes the sound of church bells. Sophie McKonogie loves the sound of children playing. Anna Rabinowitz likes the birds. Julia Twimer likes church bells. Mary Schmidt likes the sound of running water. Some sounds are recorded: a country brook, birds chirping, and church bells."--Accompanying collection documentation.
This audio recording is part of the Tony Schwartz Collection at the Library of Congress. Considered a master of the electronic media, Tony Schwartz changed the face of radio and television advertising by creating socially conscientious campaigns such as the nation’s first anti-smoking ad, which led the tobacco industry to stop advertising on television and radio. Those and other materials are part of the vast archives of sound recordings and moving images created and collected by the renowned New York City sound documentarian, producer, author and teacher.
