OldNeumanntapr Notes:
As I write these notes, early in the morning of May 15, 2015, I’m remembering my one and only time recording the ‘King Of The Blues’, after now just reading of his passing. I’m glad I was able to record this show, at the Christopher Cohan Performing Arts Center at Cal Poly. This was a difficult show because I attempted to both record and photograph from the 5th row. (You can hear the shutter of my Nikon FM on the recording.) This was the last time I attempted to do both at the same show, as it was just too difficult. Enjoy!

[August 2024. I just finished going through this show track by track and lowering the levels of the obnoxious close-proximity hand claps in Audacity. I think it makes for a much better listening experience, especially with headphones. There are some that I might of missed, and I didn’t even try to remove the noise of the shutter clicking from my Nikon FM, (Oh the joys of recording and doing photos at the same time!), but as I used to say in college; ‘It was Late, and I was TIRED!’]

He was quite the show man. RIP B.B.!
