DimeTravel 081 ::: Thanks to the original taper & trader, The Man In The Palace! ::: Corrections welcome ::: Thanks to The Man In The Palace for the recording & more than a few thanks to Wizz Jones for all the great music. Keep on trucking. Nice set here & lovely studio quality thanks to the BBC's London studios. As Wizz will tell you & I've witnessed on many an occasion, he ain't an easy man to position a guitar microphone in front of, but the sound is a real joy here! Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yers truly, Knees
