Notes:
Tut Taylor Archive Cassette #075-Bicycle (I'm not exactly sure why it is labeled as such) Side A take us to a rather 
interesting circa mid-1970's jam session at the Old Time Pickin' Parlor with Tut and two unknown guitarists-one plays steel 
string guitar (Jim _____) and the other is quite an accomplished classical/nylon string artist.  Tut is clearly enamored 
with the style of the nylon player, and they work through a number of variations on 'Greensleeves' and the then-as-yet-to-
be-named-by-Tut mandolin tune 'Griffith Mandolin Society' which appeared on his 1975 'The Old Post Office' LP on Flying Fish.  
Side B of the tape is a bit of a let-down after the artistry on Side A; it contains a lot of solo Dobro noodling by Tut, 
some solo mandolin run-throughs of 'Many Anniversaries' which also appears on 'The Old Post Office', and some nice solo 
mandolin versions of 'Fire on the Mountain'.
