Tut Taylor Archive Reel #29 features a Kentucky Colonels live performance that was probably recorded at the Ash Grove, Santa Monica, CA circa mid-1960's; Tut's recording does a nice job of capturing Clarence White's fine backing guitar. A nice treat is to hear the masterful fiddling of "Eight Time National Champion Fiddler" Scott Stoneman, who is announced as a guest at this show. Some Dobro is heard in the background on tracks 8-9, and may be Tut. "The Spencers" (Dave and Lou), a popular California country act in the 1960's, sing two songs (tracks 11-12) backed by the Colonels. This recording is notable for featuring a number of tunes not found on other circulating Kentucky Colonels shows.

The tape is a 7.5 inch per second stereo recording. The reel was played
on a modified Revox A77 reel-to-reel machine with a Reutelhuber custom designed and built tape head preamplifier incorporating 2003 era technology and componentsincluding all metal film resistors, polypropelene coupling capacitors, and low ESR electrolytic supply bypass capacitors. 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: X-Hum, Q10, LinEQ Lowband, C1 comp-gate and L3. The file was dithered down to a 16 bit/44.1kHz wave file.

The box is labeled 'Dobro DJ Oct 66'. The reel is labeled 'KC to be recorded' and 'Brown'.
