"Terence Bech visited Nepal for the first time as a Peace Corps volunteer in 1964. Over the next several years he traveled 15,000 km across Nepal, making recordings on a Uher open-reel tape machine. When he left Nepal, he had recorded over 260 hours of performances and life histories." -https://www.indiana.edu/~libarchm/index.php/atm-collections/highlights/annapurna-bech-collection.html
