Notes:

This is a very clear, high quality recording.

Tut Taylor Archive Cassette #60 was recorded
at the 1994 IBMA Convention, Owensboro, KY.
Tut is showing off (and trying to sell)
J.D. Crowe's 1933 (?) Gibson banjo that
has come back into his hands again after
he first sold it to Crowe in 1974 (Crowe
then sold it in 1984, and Tut reacquired
it again several weeks before this tape
was recorded). Several players get their
turns trying it out: Sammy Shelor (of Virginia
Squires and Lonesome River Band fame), Richard
Smith, Chris Geary, Pete Kuykendall, and
John Hartford.
