Media
Notes Notes: I transferred this about 10 years ago but it doesn't seem to circulate very much, so I have done another transfer using the flat transfer method. This transfer showed peaks very close to 25kHz so I have left this at 48kHz sampling rate. If you want to burn to CD you will need to convert it to 44.1.
Tim Diebert supplied many of the fiddle tune names during the last iteration, but two are still unknown. Don't blame him if they are wrong here, and I think there is one additional somewhere in the mix between tracks 8 and 11. Please provide the names of any that might be incorrect or listed with question marks. I recorded with John Hartford's permission. The automatic level control introduces some noise during the quieter moments.

It was a UF sound system, and not the best quality. I've seen this listed as a soundboard online but it's definitely not a soundboard. I had the mic on the ground, pointed at the speakers. There's quite a bit of chatter at first, but that settles down as the show progresses. Occasional dog fights. There are a couple of dropouts in the sound system (you'll hear crowd noise but no music, or unamplified music in the background for a few seconds) and a tape flip, but other than that it's pretty much intact. A local bluegrass band played as a warmup act, but I didn't record it.

It was a Sunday afternoon, a picnic atmosphere. Steve Goyette has graciously supplied his pictures from the day to accompany the music. I have them in a separate folder.
