Side A begins with Tut and Norman Blake playing tunes on a dulcimer. While the tape segues into Tut saying that Norman is going to play on his old Model 27 Dobro, these tunes do not appear on this tape. Tut and Norman play several tunes together (along with an unknown mandolin player), there is some guitar noodling (a different recording), and then Norman plays some great solo tunes. Side A ends with a recording of Tut chatting with a young grandchild, and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Side B features Tut and several unknown others working through 'Goodlettsville Express' (heard in a different archival version on 'Flatpickin in the Kitchen with Norman Blake and Tut Taylor') and several other tunes; of note, Tut plays 'Golden Slippers' on Dobro, not on his mandolin as is typical for him. --Mitchell Wittenberg
