Excellent show


(4 stars)

The mastering is good for B & R material. I cannot tolerate people who post before the file is ready An important file than can barely be heard can often be restored to a much better condition. Digital audio editors are cheap and common. Sound Forge is my choice, but with plug-ins, it may cost a tad more than people can afford. SF requires a knowledge of audio and mastering, but if you want to get the most out of your records and tapes, it is the best choice. Dedicated products like CEDAR cost many time more. This is a great find.

Indeed I remember it well and 40 years ago when these were recorded I was not only youthful, I had hair, and I was a sophomore in college. That name, sophomore, comes from the Greek meaning "wise OTR collector," or the way some people translate it, "wise fools." Indeed, Bob and Ray were wise and had us all laughing like fools. The fact than our OTR friendship can persist these many years later and that our enthusiasm for the work of these two men has only grown, is one of life's marvelous and happy mysteries. I would rush home from class and turn on my Panasonic receiver and start recording on my Sony TC-280 reel deck, the lowest possible model of reel deck still made. I remember trying to hook everything up to a lamp timer and having it fail every single time. So that worked against us -- why I misprioritized my life and decided that studying and having a part time job should take precedence over recording Bob & Ray makes no sense to me now. What was I thinking? I guess I was really a wise fool then too, but so poorly directed. Clearly a youthful indiscretion that I rue to this very day. Yours truly Greybelt (because I'm an old guy who's learning karate)
