Hello all,

I'm going to be starting a research project this fall on ballrooms, past =
and present.  The focus will be two-fold.  The first is to document the =
status of ballrooms (which ones are still standing, abandoned or =
occupied, with what etc.).  The second is to present a survey of musical =
history through ballrooms, beginning with some of the most important =
(Savoy etc), and working outward into more regional ones.  The work will =
have numerous photos, both past and present and personal reminiscences =
as well as historical copy. =20

If anyone has any relevant info or personal stories, please contact me =
at rakmccallum@hotmail.com .  Any ballroom, whether free standing or =
within a hotel (like the Hotel Pennsylvania) will be part of this =
project.  Also, if anyone is aware of any books or articles regarding =
this topic that could be used as reference material, I'm interested in =
that also.  I'm literally at the very beginning of this project and have =
very little info yet. =20

All the best,

Rob McCallum
