Lost And Found Sound (2CD) by Various Artist Ricky Fataar NPR 2000 Note: Ricky Fataar is credited as one of the many contributors to this radio documentary about historical American audio recordings. Note: Davia Nelson wrote this about Ricky Fataar's contribution to this project: Ricky is one of our revered advisors. He just knows things, about nearly everything we do. But in this case he was so helpful with the Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band piece. He helped lead us to Van Dyke Parkes, to the music of Lord Kitchener. Do you know him? He's one of the grandest of fellows. Warm wishes from California.
