Typed label on reel: "July 4, 1962 party at the Ranch. WPL recounts early business career."

Handwritten on back of box: "[numerous notes crossed out]."AbstractThis audio recording contains a band performance at a Fourth of July party hosted by the Lears at their home in Geneva, Switzerland, recorded July 4, 1962. Most of the recording is comprised of the band’s musical numbers, interspersed with audience applause and faint background conversation. Moya O. Lear is briefly heard at one point, explaining the nature of the event and conversing with an unidentified man in French.

The reel that originally contained the audio for this event was later reused by William P. Lear for another recording. As such, much of the event was taped over and has been lost. These clips are what remains of the original recording.Creation Date1962-07-04SubjectLear, Moya Olsen, 1915-2001BandsPlaceGeneva (Switzerland)SwitzerlandExtent1 sound reel (11 min., 4 sec.) : analog ; 1/4 inOriginal Formatopen reel audiotapesBibliographic CitationThe William P. and Moya Olsen Lear Papers/The Museum of FlightRightsIn copyright
