I was sure that with four recording rigs around we would capture every note but ... it was too hot upstairs in my music room so no one wanted to lay down tracks up there. The Rev. Heng Sure caught a minidisc full but had to leave before the singing started. My minidisc recorder fell out of the tree where I was hiding it to do some stealth recording. Still, I hope we caught a few choice bits for your listening pleasure. Just understand that this is only a tiny fraction of the great music that went on all day.
Matt Hayden reports that he is working on several minidiscs developing some more selections, so stand by.
Recording Equipment: My minidisc is a Sharp MD-SR60, with a SoundProfessionals T-Mic. Matt has a Sony MD and a Sony single point stereo mic - Details, Matt? Rev. Heng Sure also brought a Sony MD and a Sony single point stereo mic - details, Rev?

Kevin Ko spent some time at our house the day after the party and we took the opportunity to record two tracks with his Ko #4 induced archtop nylon strung guitar. He graciously consented to include them here. The recording chain was a pair of Sound Room Octava MC012 small diaghragm condensers in a coincident right angles configuration, about 18" from the 12th fret on Ko #4. The preamp is an M-Audio DMP-3 into an M-Audio Omni I/O and a Delta 66 sound card. The computer is a Dell GX150, a nearly silent PC, running a 1 GHz PIII and .5 GB of RAM. We used Cool Edit 2000 to record and edit, then applied Freeverb 2 using N-Track, then back to Cool Edit to create the MPEG files.
