SPECIAL PLEA: Some DIME members have enormous speed and/or bandwidth and frequently accumulate twice or more the download total of the nearest seeder. Please, would any such member remove themself from my torrent after fifteen or maybe thirty minutes of seeding. The upload volume thus released would allow the many seeders below you to benefit by increasing their share. This might be of critical importance to some of us. Thank you in advance.

Superb music from this wonderful performer; enjoy. Thanks and appreciation are owed the recordist, of whose name I am unaware, for the excellent source recording. The torrent has talk levels raised and is a fresh transfer from my copy. Therefore it will differ from previous uploads of this performance, if any.

Faults: See note re t23, 24; otherwise none.
