On a visit home to the great northwest a few years ago, JEMS borrowed some Lucinda master tapes recorded by our friend CC. Most were DATs, but there was a single cassette which, if I am recalling correctly, was from one of those "songwriters sitting around talking" type events at SXSW where they give the backstory to their compositions. CC turned on his recorder twice to capture her performances.

The recording is a little brittle and slightly overdriven (though that may be the PA), but still clear and it captures a certain frailty in Lucinda that has long since vanished.

Based on some of the background noise, it would appear some other panel is going on in the room next door. Call it more of an audio documentary than an amazing recording, but it should be new to Lu collectors just the same.

Sample provided.
