Tut Taylor Archive Reel #58 features what may be a 1968 D.J. Convention, Nashville, TN recording of Tut jamming with his
friends, The Bluegrass Five (J.N. & Onie Baxter, Hughie Wylie, Ron Norman, & Howard McGuire), as well as them all backing up
bluegrass great, Jimmy Martin, who runs through some of his classic hits. The tail ends of both sides of the
tape are marred by some tape drag which makes these songs pretty unlistenable.

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 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: Q10, X-Hum and L3. The file was dithered down to a
16 bit/44.1kHz wave file.

The box is labeled 'Un. Gro. 66'.
The reel is labeled '1968 D.J., Ron N.'


Side A and Side B have serious drag issues on the last couple of tracks, pretty much unlistenable. Most of the rest of this
tape is very enjoyable.

On side A it sounds like Jimmy Martin on about 1/2 of the songs
