Even when, earlier in 2016, Melanie Lefkowitz ran a short piece on the research for the book in Ezra, Cornell’s magazine, all I received from alumni were reminiscences.Īround this time, Peter sent t-shirts to Sage House for Dean and me. But the Gazette went defunct years ago, and the credited photographer, Cliff Diver, was clearly using a pseudonym and was thus next to impossible to trace. Then there was a shot on the cover of the Good Times Gazette, a very-Ithaca periodical from the era. But, like many papers, the Journal had long since gotten rid of its morgue and had no files dating back to the 1970s. One image of the Dead had appeared in the Ithaca Journal on the Monday after the show. She seemed to recall a photographer in town who had Grateful Dead photos framed in his studio. His name was Jon Reis. I was wearing that t-shirt while cooking dinner at home, when a neighbor came by to visit. But archival photos of the Dead on stage at Barton Hall were limited to three blurry black and white shots from a Cornell student, Lawrence Reichman, who had clearly been jostling for position amidst the energetic crowd. I uncovered documents related to the planning of the show, security provisions, and the signed contract that formalized everything from payment to how many bottles of red Bordeaux would be available to the band backstage. Unfortunately, photos of the band related to their May 8 show at Cornell proved hard to find.Īt the Cornell Archives in Kroch Library, Laura Linke, Evan Fay Earle, Liz Muller, and Heather Furnas had been immensely helpful in locating files associated with the Cornell Concert Committee, which had brought the Dead to campus. The contract called for twenty or more images, and both Peter and I wanted the book to have lots of photos and ephemera to help readers appreciate the spirit of spring 1977.
In that editorial lull, I was tasked with hunting down visual art.
After another round of editing from me and Dean Smith, Director of Cornell University Press (and a Deadhead), Peter was back at the work of revision. In June 2016 I was consulting with Peter on the book that would be titled Cornell ’77: The Music, the Myth, and the Magnificence of the Grateful Dead’s Concert at Barton Hall. And, as I learned last summer, if you are at the right place at the right time, you would do well to be wearing the right item of clothing. When the authors, artists, editors, and archivists who play key roles in developing a book live in close proximity, chance meetings that can change a book are more likely to occur. Or, you can exchange for a different size or different shirt.The difference a t-shirt makes: That is a lesson about regional publishing that I learned in the course of editing our new book, from Peter Conners, about the Grateful Dead’s 1977 concert at Barton Hall on the Cornell campus.
