Tut Taylor Archive Reel #82 is one for the true Dobro "Plectrologists" out there-a twin Dobro jam session with Tut and
Curtis Burch. Half the tunes come from Tut's repertoire, while many of the others have a more contemporary feel connected
with Curtis. The date and location of this recording are unknown, although this has an early-1970's feel given that
several of the tunes found appear on Tut's 1971 "Friar Tut" LP on Rounder Records.

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: X-Hum, Q10, LinEQ Lowband, S1 Shuffler and L3. The file was dithered down to a
16 bit/44.1kHz wave file.

The box is labeled 'Tut - Curtis'. The reel is labeled 'Curtis & Tut'.
