Thanks for that reference, Julius! I had read/heard about Thomas
Stockham's work with the Caruso recordings many years ago (the 80s) but
never heard it. This is fantastic! It is also motivating to see a young
Dr. Oppenheim and his enthusiasm for DSP.

Hi Julius,
Interesting. It's easy to see that Prof. Oppenheim
is an obsessive/compulsive DSP fanatic. And I mean
that in the most complimentary, flattering, way.
You mentioned old instructional videos on VHS tapes.
I have a half dozen of those old VHS tapes on DSP,
presented by Oppenheim, Schafer, McClellan, etc.
I wonder if those tapes are worth anything to anybody.
(I threw my VHS player out the door years ago.)

Al is really good at maintaining ties with innovators and R&D industry (and government) partners. MIT Lincoln Lab is a close collaborator, lots of Al's students are now engineers and program managers there. Same with Bose, they have 3-4 of Al's PhD grads working there at various capacities.
Texas Instruments, in particular Gene Frantz who is a "senior fellow", has been a really good partner, too. They usually have 3-5 MIT grad students intern in their Dallas R&D every summer. Gene used to visit MIT twice a year, to give invited lectures on innovation in signal processing. IIRC he's retired now, I haven't seen him on campus in a while.
Here's an oldie but goodie video of Al giving a lecture in signal processing, from 1975.

Hello Earthlings,
I just ran across an interesting article, by
Alan Oppenheim, regarding the early history of
DSP. If you have nothin' better to do, you
might enjoy having a look at that article. It can
be found at:
