Transfer Notes: 
This tape was broken upon first inspection.  Fortune was on our side as the break occured right at the hub.I disassembled a brand new heavy-duty Maxell XLIIS and placed the tape from the Sony inside utilizing the take-up hub of the Maxell and the supply of the Sony.  (I figured I had one good, clean chance to play this thing)  I popped it in and sure enough it worked!

Tut Taylor Archive Cassette #029 provides the listener with a seat at what is likely an after-Opry jam session at Roy 
Acuff's, just around the corner from the Grand Ole Opry and Tut's store, the Old Time Pickin' Parlor, in Nashville, TN, 
April 8, 1972.  Tut is featured playing Dobro and mandolin, and the unmistakable strains of Brother Oswald Kirby's Dobro 
are heard during the first several tunes on Side A, and again on the last several tunes at the end of Side B.  I'm unable 
to identify the electric guitarist (Johnny______?) or fiddle player (possibly Joe ______?). --Mitchell Wittenberg
