OldNeumanntapr Notes:
This was another AWESOME Avila Beach Blues Festival recording, made possible by the usual suspects, primarily my friend Dave! Last year when Etta James played I thought it couldn’t get any better than that, but this year I was blown away with Jonny Lang and his soulful blues playing and vocals. I couldn’t believe how talented he was and how young he was! He is truly a great blues man and time will only make him better. Again, I was able to thwart the security staff and bring in my Neumann rig plus my black body Nikon FM2N 35mm and 300 f/2.8 AIS manual focus Nikkor. I got some good shots, one of which I used for the front-cover artwork.
Pulling off both a front of board recording and shooting with a large pro camera in BROAD Daylight is no easy feat, and I was not resting easy until I was out of the venue and back to the safety of my car. I hope everyone enjoys this and please don’t rip me off by trying to make a dollar off of my work or the artist’s performance. I pride myself in that in almost 40 years of recording shows I have NEVER sold anything, and never would.

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