Tut Taylor Archive Reel #61 contains two sets of recordings.  Side A features Tut's 

longtime friends, The Bluegrass Five; about half the songs are bluegrass standards, 

while the other half consists of a guitarist (J.N. Baxter?) singing gospel and Jimmy 

Rodgers-inspired tunes.  Side B contains an Osborne Brothers concert recorded in Atlanta, 

GA in May 1965.  Interestingly, Sonny and Bobby Osborne (on banjo and mandolin, 

respectively) perform as a trio, accompanied only by Gordon Cash on acoustic guitar 

and vocals.

	The tape is a 7.5 inch per second mono recording on side 1, stereo on side 2.

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: Q10, X-Hum, S1 Shuffler and L3.  The file was dithered down to a 

16 bit/44.1kHz wave file.



The box is labeled 'BG5 (Old)'.
