CoolSonics 105 ::: Thanks to the original taper, meself... ::: Corrections welcome ::: Another one for Bert! A crackin' show from Pentangle here & we get a full evening's performance with 2 full sets, a 2 song encore & a lot of Jacqui McShee. In fact, she's really earning her keep, handling the majoritiy of the vocals. Undoubtably pleased their new album has hit Stateside, the band is well rehearsed & a steady unit at this point & comfortable & familar in the Iron Horse. Gerry is in the groove & Bert & Peter are in really in synch. I like this one very much. A great show. My computer sure isn't happy about these full-length over 1&1/2 hour shows. Slow mastering indeed, but it got done. Enjoy!

More recordings on the way, making up for years of slow netspeed. Kudos to Zongo for life support, Lochner for mikes & much more, & to Fast Freddie for runnin' Video Dick's Record Emporium with the bathroom office full of tape decks. Thanks to Hanwaker (few among us can keep his pace) for over 30 years of trading & friendship. Mountains of gratitude to Davmar, D.White, Sanchez, Elliot, The Florida Kid, Kloiber, Zingg, JTW, Bershaw, Boston Gold, Weeks, Dixon, Moore, Gough & SO many more for all that collecting & sharing... Royal thanks to The Man In The Palace, Doc Tinker, Brinkhoffs, Barely Eatin', Reel Master Gaule, Parrish & all the traders who housed me thru my music acquisition & travel years. Hats off to Brother Kent, Uncle Jake, Little Queenie (& her neighbor Frank) & his honor Ptomaine Thomas. Glasses raised to Byron for musical horizon expansion & much obliged to J & Thurston for keepin' my concert fires burnin' since my continental shift. Thanks to the Mods for keepin' DIME alive. Enjoy, share, give, spread peace. Yers truly, Knees
