Notes
This performance was recorded by Tommy Stevenson. Transfer and edits by Richard Russell, nolataper.
Lots of unknown songs. Toussaint comments during the performance that he writes new songs for the boat shows based on the previous year's riverboat shows... Several songs have river / water themes.
The first 4:05 of Track 4 is from the first-generation source
