The first tape is primarily a recorded response by Earle M. Moss to interview questions sent to him by reporter Mary Ann Sebrey (now Whitley). A subsequent recording made by Mary Ann Sebrey of Violet Deckard Gardner recorded over the beginning of Moss's responses. The tape begins with Gardner singing Carmichael's Jew boy blues and a commercial recording of Stardust. Moss's interview responses follow, beginning with question five on the typed transcript. In the second tape, Moss plays examples from and discusses his collection of Hoagy Carmichael songs, followed by further recollections of Carmichael and Bloomington, IN in the 1920s.
