Well, as promised, I finally got around to flipping over the tape, but the tape got caught up on the capstans and unwound.    I had to find a pencil and get it all wound back up so I could get it put on the computer and converted to an MP3.  

 

Here’s the most recent one I had promised earlier:

If anyone is interested, I’d be glad to describe the recording process in as great and gory a detail as you can stand.

PS – plus I’ll take a little less ‘artistic license’ with my description

;)

 

> Are you serious!!??
I'm as serious as I am normally -
;)
 
> Any chance of a picture of how it was recorded?
Sure, some people who were at the party posted some pictures. 
I'd be glad to furnish them.   Here they are:

One of my favorites is here:

(not everyone in the picture got to play, but all of them are great musicians)
 
I will say that it was a party "for musicians, by musician".
It was an Appreciation for Ray Codrington - a local jazz musician
that is a favorite of many of the jazz guys in the local area.
There were about 120 people there, 97% were musicians.  At any given
time, there were about 80 people.
 
I noticed that Julien Claassen has said he had listened to 
Eddie Harris while growing up.   One of Eddie's jazz classics is a
song called "Freedom Jazz Dance".  Ray Codrington was the 
trumpet player on that recording done back in the mid 60s. 
 
One thing I will seriously share is that this really is my first
Linux audio piece, and I am figuring out how to make it all work.
There are probably a few steps I left out or didn't 
completely describe.
;)
 
However, let me flip the tape over and see if I can somehow get
another song loaded up on Garageband...  I'll point to it when
it becomes available.
