Video-taped interviews, scripts,
production logs and photographs (1993-1997) in the Tara Veneruso Collection
document the creation of “Janis Joplin Slept Here: a Documentary on Austin
Music and Culture” (1994, 120 min.) featuring Richard Linklater, Joe “King”
Carrasco, Jimmie Vaughn, Ian Moore, Tish Hinojosa, Tommy Shannon and other
members of the Austin music scene. The documentary uses Janis Joplin, Texas’s
first female rock superstar, as a link to connect various reminiscences of
Austin music and life covering the time period 1960 to 1993. In addition to the
finished film, the collection includes raw footage of approximately 70
interviews, concert footage taken in Austin clubs and venues during 1993, and
images of posters and mementos from the collections of local musicians. A
shooting log and production notes summarize the contents of the master tapes.
Research articles, original photographs and a film production book provide
context for the taped interviews. In addition to the “Janis Joplin” materials,
the collection includes footage from Veneruso’s 1994 short film “Oslo-Austin
Week” featuring Bruce Hancock, a 1997 tape of the band Omar and the Howlers,
interviews with the band Brave Combo from 1996, a 1996 music video of Christine
Caughey, and a 1995 music video of The Fabulous Bowler Boys.
