What's New at The Silo
Portell Foundation
The Henderson American Music Archive is launching an online database of over 300 digital image collections of musical scores from Skitch Henderson’s personal library. The pieces chosen for this initial database are those scores that feature Mr. Henderson’s notations from performances and/or recording sessions from the 1950s to the present day. Each page of the score can be viewed using Adobe Acrobat Reader, and offer the viewer first-hand experience with these rare pieces. This library-without-walls has been called “an exceptional resource for scholars of multiple aspects of twentieth-century American music culture.” It was made possible by a grant from the National Park Service’s Save America’s Treasures grant program and the Lawrence J. and Natalie D. Portell Foundation, who both shared Skitch Henderson’s love of music and the performing arts.
Please be aware that some of these files are large and will be slow to load on some computers.

The presentation by Dwight Blocker Bowers of the Smithsonian Institution was a marvelous look at the life and history of Skitch Henderson. A highlight of the event was the presentaion by Ruth Henderson to Mr Bowers of some personal items of Skitch's for display at the Smithsonian. The items included his White Tie and Tails Tuxedo (the first such item ever contributed to the Smithsonian), five of his favorite batons, a couple of his favorite hats, and his shoes, red socks and suspenders.

Skitch, as Musical Director of NBC, appeared nightly on the Tonight Show, which taped in New York in those days. Ruth was chairwoman of Friends of City Center and an active fund-raiser and drum-beater for the arts. We had just opened a restaurant, Daly’s Dandelion...
