Greetings and Happy New Year to you.
I am amazed and quite pleased by the numbers of people who listen to the music I post. This year Your Mother Should Know Recordings www.ymskrecordings.com had its 100,000 th hit. Some of the recordings I've posted on this blog have had more than 500 downloads. Now I know that is not a lot by 'net' standards, and that is OK with me. I'm happy to share this music with others who appreciate it. It amazes me what an old hippy with a computer can do these days.
Please continue to add comments to this blog and e-mail me at ymskrecordings@aol.com . I enjoy getting your e-mails and comments about the music and I'm happy when I get suggestions about music you'd like to hear! Check out my list if you'd like, and let me know what you'd like to listen to.
And now a message from the KARMA DEPARTMENT
Remeber to treat your fellow human well!
So Happy New Years! Enjoy the music! Here's something for a variety of tastes!
And What's New Year's without the Grateful Dead? Here's a recording I just got recently. It is followed by New Years Eve Performances by Louis Armstrong Taj Mahal, David Crosby, Miles Davis and Prince, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Dave Mason.
Here is an excellent Grateful Dead concert from 1976, a "Betty Board which means the audio quality is tops! What's a Betty Board you ask? Here's the story.
| Date: Wed, 8 May 1996 From: xx Newsgroups: rec.music.gdead Subject: BETTY BOARDS: Watch This Space ... Hey now folks, Would you like some Betty Boards? An extremely kind taper/archivist (you know who you are!) is seeding a hefty set of the original Betty Boards on DAT, sixty-two shows from 1971 through 1980. These DAT tapes come from a source close to the original tapers (bless them!), and the tapes have no analog tape generations in their pedigree. About twenty stone lunatics, myself included, have decided to tree these BBD's so that our fellow tapers, and would be lunatics, can share in this fortunate event. Over the next several months, look for all sorts of tape trees right on here r.m.gd. (more on that in a bit) These tapes are from Betty Cantor's personal stash. For whatever reasons, she abandoned these tapes (and other property) in a rented storage locker back in 1986. After giving Betty repeated opportunities to catch up on back rent, or to remove her property, the owner of the storage facility legally sold the contents of the locker at an auction. The tapes were sold in batches to several people. One of these batches (62 shows worth) made its way into the hands of some deadheads, and was put into general circulation in the taper community. Bless them again! The first great wave of Betty Boards began hitting the streets by 1987. They revolutionized tape collecting. I still remember the joy I felt back in 88 or 89 when another batch of Betty Boards would come my way. By 1996, however, a lot of the Betty Boards in circulation are hi-gen and fragmented. Even many of the DAT copies out there are actually copies of old analog tapes. Given the quality of what was in general circulation, most folks have never really heard a Betty Board. Until recently, that included me. These tapes are great folks. You don't just get to hear the clang and hiss of a cymbal, but to hear the wood striking the metal disk, the clang and shake and wobble of the hissing cymbal. Believe me friends, you ain't never heard a Betty Board before. These tapes, although based on two track reels spun directly from the soundboard, should not be confused with soundboards that have been released in recent years. For one thing, many of the soundboards that the Dead have allowed to sneak out seem to have been slightly salted in one way or another to degrade the sound quality. These Betty Board tapes are pure and sweet, with no salting: they are better! For another thing, these Betty Boards reflect the limitations of working with 7" or 10" reel to reel tapes: sometimes a tape breaks off in the middle of a song; sometimes you can hear the tape spin up to speed at the beginning of a song. There are a few unpleasant reel flips here and there. There are several incomplete shows. Remember, these tapes were originally recorded many years ago by hippies on drugs! |
I hope you enjoy the music.
