Kevin:

At long last, here are the assets for the Robert Hunter / Tom Constanten show we were chatting about. I'm sorry it took so long, but my PC melted down and there have been other complications :)

There's a lot of "poetry" here. If you find this stuff to be too wierd to be enjoyable, please put it aside. I think that TC's piano work is great and makes up for the rest of the evening.

Here's the lineage on these 8 .wav files. There are the 4 original transfers I did, plus 4 mastered versions which have been dehissed, etc.

I can go back to my source for details about the recordings, if need be. She says that it's OK to list the taper's names in the credits. If possible, could you please include in the credits a thank you to 'carlisle' for the source material?

Without further ado . . .
