Notes:
- taper paused recording between several songs
- lots of mic bumps were removed
- "The Girls From TX" cuts in
- "Smack Dab In The Middle" cuts in
- "Why Don't You Try Me?" intro talk damaged
- "Teardrops Will Fall" cuts off
- doing some research on the date I found an article at:
https://www.nytimes.com/1981/02/06/arts/ry-cooder-finds-public-for-his-musical-goulash.html
Unfortunately I have no access to this, so I cannot read the whole article. It states that Cooder did shows on Monday and Tuesday (in NY??) - Feb 10th was a tuesday so this date might be correct.
