OldNeumanntapr Notes:
This was the second time that I had seen and recorded James McMurtry. As I remember, the show was on a weeknight and I had to race up to SLO after work so I could be there on time. It was nice that there was no search at SLO Brew and I could go in ‘wired up’. I had a minor equipment problem at this show with a bad cable that later I thought might have been karma because McMurtry is so anti-taper! 😉 Thanks, as always, to Dennis Orr for his post production work.

Do NOT Convert To MP3.
Enjoy! Share freely, don’t sell, play nice, don’t run with scissors, etc. 😉
