Tut Taylor Archive Cassette #35 features part two of a "January 8, 1972" jam session at "Roy Acuff's" (in Tut's
biography, "Flat Pickin' Dobro Man", he mentions that Roy Acuff owned a building next door to the Ryman Auditorium
in Nashville, TN, where people used to gather to jam before and after the Grand Ole Opry performances; I suspect
that this is where this jam took place). Tut is heard on Dobro and mandolin, with Charlie Collins on fiddle,
along with an unknown guitar player/vocalist (who is clearly smitten with the flatpicking style of Doc Watson).
My guess is that more tunes from this jam can be found on archive Cassette #40. However, the jam at Roy Acuff's
on C40 is labeled as having been recorded on December 8, 1972, making it unclear whether these recordings are
part of a whole, distinct from one another, or, if they did take place on the same day, occurred in early- or
late-1972.

The casssete is a Concertape Radio Shack brand cassette with a sticker that
says "Jan. 8, 1972 at Roy Acuff's" on it. The cassette was played on a Nakamichi Deck 1
with azimuth adjusted. The resulting analog signal was digitized
by a Mytek Digital 8X96 analog to digital converter using Steinberg Nuendo as the
recording software and saved as a 24 bit 48 kHz wave file.

Post processing and was done with Nuendo using the following Waves
Plugins: Q10, X-Hum, LinEQ Lowband and L3. The file was dithered down to a
16 bit/44.1kHz wave file.
