Join us as we explore Smog Veil Records' ambitious project to definitively document and archive the music, writing, people, and oral histories in the life and times of Peter Laughner. In addition to Laughner’s music and writing, the discussion will focus on some of the unique aspects of rock music culture in Cleveland and look at the methods, problems, and solutions in researching rock history from a pre-internet time in our present wired world.
