Tut Taylor Archive Reel #54 contains several separate sets of recordings--1) Gloria Belle, Tut Taylor, and 

Curtis Burch, and 2) an unknown banjo player.  Belle, who played and sang with Jimmy Martin, Charlie Monroe, 

and others, sings two songs, including Gale Garnett's smash 1964 Billboard hit, "We'll Sing in the Sunshine".  

Tut and Curtis also work through several variations of Tut's "Ghost Picker".  The location of this recording 

is unknown, but it was likely recorded circa mid-1960s.

	The tape is a 7.5 inch per second mono recording.  The reel was played

on a modified Revox A77 reel-to-reel machine with a Reutelhuber custom designed and 

built tape head preamplifier incorporating 2003 era technology and components

including all metal film resistors, polypropelene coupling capacitors, and low ESR 

electrolytic supply bypass capacitors.  The resulting analog signal was digitized 

by a Mytek Digital 8X96 analog to digital converter using Steinberg Nuendo as the 

recording software and saved as a 24 bit 48 kHz wave file.  



	Post processing and was done with Nuendo using the following Waves 

Plugins: X-Hum, Q10, LinEQ Lowband, C1 comp-gate, C1 comp-sc, Mixer Delay and L3.

The file was dithered down to a 16 bit/44.1kHz wave file.



The box is labeled 'Gloria-Tut-Curtis'.  The reel is labeled 'Gloria Belle, Tut-Curt'.
