This is part of the same recording session as “Harry to the Ferry.” It features my Aunt Louise and her son, my cousin Lindsey. The same microphones and tape recorder were used with my aunt on the Calrad DM-59HL dynamic microphone and my cousin on the Calrad 500C crystal microphone. There is tape hiss present, and the recording was done at 3¾ inches per second. As in the other recording, there is some distortion on the side with the crystal microphone due the high signal level overdriving the mike preamp in the Sony 560D tape deck. One thing I didn’t know until recently is that “Harry to the Ferry” is actually part of “California Drinking Song.”
