rows back.  CDs mastered using DA20 > LynxOne > WaveLab >

Only flaw:  squeaky seats in the venue;  not bad enough
 to spoil the show or the recording.  

Two CDRs."

Next day review as provided 
by 
Donn Marshall on bgb:
"Anyway, the show was great. 
They did many of the standards from the recent quartet CD. The only "dawg" tune was "Dawgmatism". 
Martin Taylor is simply astounding, both using fingers and a flatpick. Does anyone know what kind of guitar he is using? 
(It is a beautiful arch top that he plugged in AND used mics for reinforcement.) 
They even switched instruments at one time and Taylor did a commendable job on mando 
(holding it standing without any strap!) with Dawg holding his own on guitar. 
From my wife: "Grisman facilitated the showcasing of Martin Taylor, guitarist extrodinaire. 
Having seen MANY talented guitarists Taylor is one of the best." "
