This show was outdoors at the Spring Park Pavilion stage during the W.C. Handy Music Festival and features some great Muscle Shoals Rhythm and Blues.

The show features legends like Donnie Fritts, Spooner Oldham and Travis Wammack, not to mention the Decoys, a band that includes David Hood, Kelvin Holly, Scott Boyer, N.C. Thurman and Mike Dillon (the one who played with Dickie Betts, not Les Claypool).

I have to apologize for the fades at the end and beginning of Tracks 14 and 15 respectively. I failed to clear the SD card from the night before and the recorder stopped. I missed the ending of "Tear it Up" and a minute or so of "These Arms of Mine" deleting a file from the card to open more space. Another inexcusable error I should not be making. The majority of the show is there for you to enjoy. I used the omini caps this time and I love their sound outside.
