Comments:

My buddy Mike took advantage of the opportunity to plug his deck into a soundboard feed this sunny July afternoon, and we should all be glad he did!  This recording sounds really nice - I'd rate it A+ for sound quality (I guess it would drop to an A during the wind noise moments) and A+ for performance - Tim sounds great, and Tim backed by Donna sounds great!


enjoy! - Zeb
