General:
CDR copy. FW-ASCH-7RR-0991 is one of a series of at least four tapes devoted to interviews conducted by the same unidentified person - almost certainly Tony Schwartz. Tony recorded a variety of Folkways albums based on field recordings he made in the 1950's near where he lived in New York City; however, these tapes apparently weren't used by Folkways. The first three of the four tape boxes contain the code "VG-3" and tapes contain brief interviews of commercial artists (-0991 and -0993 are identical, so only the first is being digitized; -0992 was recorded at 3 & 3/4 ips and is not being digitized at this time. Similar straightforward questions were asked of each artist, such as: "What do you do?" "What kind of training did you have for your job? "What do you find most/least rewarding about your job? Does your job allow you any opportunities to express yourself? etc. If the artist was female, she was asked about whether her gender had made it more difficult to find a job, etc. Because the interviews were rather brief - often less than 10 minutes - there was not much opportunity for in-depth discussion. The tape contains five separate interviews.

The Metropolitan Community Church (MCC), later the Universal Fellowship Metropolitan Community Church (UFMCC), was founded by the Reverend Mr. Troy Perry in 1968. From their website, "Founded in 1968, Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC) has been at the vanguard of civil and human rights movements by addressing issues of race, gender, sexual orientation, economics, climate change, aging, and global human rights. MCC was the first to perform same-gender marriages and has been on the forefront of the struggle towards marriage equality in the USA and other countries worldwide." (MCC website accessed 2019 December 13)
