Tut Tayor Archive Reel #50 features a variety of circa mid-1960's recordings of north Georgia bluegrass legends Walter Butler & the Sun Valley Boys--Butler (guitar, vocals), Leonard Pickens (fiddle), Don Norman (banjo), Ron Norman (guitar), and Nippy Green (bass).

Side A of this reel features some polished recordings of the band with particular emphasis on Don Norman's fine banjo picking.
Side B contains recordings from the "Dixie Jubilee" radio program out of Hapeville, GA, where Butler and the Sun Valley Boys were regulars.
The announcer is clearly a Sun Valley Boys fan. See the following website for more detailed information about Walter Butler and his north Georgia bluegrass friends: http://bcbrown.net/bluegrass/chronicles/articles/ICMC2004/

The tape is a 7.5 inch per second mono 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 components including 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, C1 comp-sc and L3. The file wasdithered down to a 16 bit/44.1kHz wave file.

The box is labeled 'Walter Butler/Don Norman, Dixie Jubilee' and 'F&S'. The reel is labeled 'Don'.
