I've keep the complete broadcast, including station IDs, stage chatter and "dead air", but the tunes are in cuts 01, 03, 04, 06, 08, 09, 11, 12. So you can ignore 00, 02, 05, 07, 10, 13 if you just want the tunes.
I am pleased that my first torrent on DIME (courtesy of recording by NOLATAPER, I just split the tunes and made these notes) featurs some journeymen of New Orleans music scene. Many players like them who gig regularly in the city and are fluent in many or all of the flavors of jazz and r&b but have not yet been knighted with hit song or world fame. Ed Perkins had feature guest spont on Alvin Batiste 2006 Marsalis Music Honors Series but otherwise has been continuously active as a jazz/blues singer while holding down a day job.
Since this is a blues and bbq festival in New Orleans, Perkins and his quartet bring a r&b / blues repertoire to the stage, ending with a New Orleans medley.
From their chatter, it seems they opened the day for the Camp Street stage of the festival.
