NOTES:
This is not the complete show. I left out most of the comedy routines & stage banter. All of the music is included except for the opening theme & some incidental music.
This is my first ever attempt to share one of my own recordings. I don't have top of the line equipment, but I think the sound quality is excellent. There is some very faint interference that is only audible at high volume or with headphones, otherwise it is inaudible.
Constructive criticism is always appreciated.
I'm putting this in the "Americana" category, but it could also be classified as folk, country, bluegrass, comedy...well, you get the idea.
