I don't know how this guy does it. He plays, and plays and plays, often blending many songs into a rockabilly medley. I got tired trying to track this one, let alone trying to come up with 40 or so song titles. If you can help, that would be much appreciated.

Sleepy is a legend and one heck of a nice guy! This was my first time to the Thirsty Ear, so I wasn't real sure where to position myself to get the best recording (not like there were many choices). We ended up getting a table two or three rows back from the stage, which was basically half-way to the back of the club. The recording came out pretty good though, but you be the judge. Enjoy this one!

I have been recording shows since the mid 1980's. Many of these shows were traded and widely circulated on cassette tape back in the day. This effort is to create a fresh transfer of my master recordings from the original media and provide an unaltered version (except volume boost if needed and/or fade) of these shows. I will include as much information about the equipment used to create the recording, as well as the process and tools used for the transfer as I can. Enjoy!
