Tut Taylor Archive Reel #181 is labeled "Asheville Westgate" and contains a
bluegrass picking session with players who are obviously familiar with the
tunes they are performing. This was likely recorded in the Westgate Parking
Lot at the Asheville Folk Festival (Asheville, NC) in the mid-late 1960s.
This is perhaps Tut jamming with north Georgia bluegrass pioneer Walter
Butler and his band, The Sun Valley Boys. Butler is said to have been
enamored with the tune "Love and Wealth", and he performed it at every
opportunity; interestingly, this song is found on this recording. See the
following website for additional information:

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 by David Avery with Nuendo using the following
Waves Plugins: Q10, X-Hum, S1 Stereoimager and L2. The file was dithered down to
a 16 bit/44.1kHz wave file.
