Notes:  Cassette #391 features a vintage 1964 recording of Flatt & Scruggs and The Foggy Mountain Boys recorded at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY.  The band at this time was a smooth-oiled machine, clearly knowing how to please a university audience with their impeccable musicianship and cornball humor. 

Lester Flatt-guitar, vocals, Earl Scruggs-banjo, guitar, Paul Warren-fiddle, "Uncle Josh" Graves-Dobro, Billy E. Powers-guitar, vocals, & "Cousin Jake" Tullock-bass, humor

The last 8 tracks on Side B are edited from a live performance by, I believe, Larry Sparks & The Lonesome Ramblers.  No notation of these recordings is provided on the tape, and no musicians are mentioned by name to give us clues to clear up the mysteries. It is possible that these songs were recorded at a festival in Florida; at one point, thanks is offered to the organizers of the event, Orange Blossom Bluegrass, a band from Orlando, FL active from the mid-1970's to the mid-1980's.
