SPOKE (Joey Burns & John Convertino, pre-CALEXICO) - January 31, 1996 - Musikclub Hirsch, Nuremberg, Germany
** Audience DAT-master, MWM 0095 **


This one here is for Jim, the gsarchivist & Official Calexico Archivist...

and hanwaker, hanno, oecourt, dbtr, rioblanco plus all friends i forgot...


This recording here comes directly from the "Men With Microphones" archive.
"MWM" started in the 70ies in South Germany with analog recording equipment,
and at least two of them are still recording sometimes (since the 90ies on DAT,
and, lazy as we are, since lately with small, handheld WAV-recorders on SD-cards).
The "MWM" startet as a project of friends sharing their hobbies together. But by
reason of jobs, partners and other interests the circle of all involved shrinked.
