"notes": "Jay's Notes:\nDigitally Remastered using a custom built, Dual-DAW, nicknamed Bertha, by jashley@deadacated.com. Completed on November 9, 2005.\n\nI don't know where I got this show, and unfortunately, there was no text file with it. It does appear to be from the same source as the one on archive.org. The source on archive is listed as a cassette master. Spectral analysis cleary reveals two analog generations, making this, most likely, a cassette master>>cassette rather than a cassette master source.\n\nThere were many rough trasitions between songs, most apparently from the stopping and starting of a tape machine. Most of these transitions were edited to make them less harsh.",

"notes": "(The lineage given in the original etree copy's original info file is incorrect.)\n\nNote: The show as I got it from the etree was spuriously tracked,\nwith track boundaries often 30 seconds to a minute before the actual\nbeginning of a song, and the bit of \"Beer Barrel Polka\" tuning split\nbetween the end of disc 2 and beginning of disc 3. I retracked the entire\nthing de novo, using Cool Edit and CDWav. The track timings below are \nfor my retracked version; timings for the original etree copy are given \nat the end of this file. In retracking disc 3, I followed the tracking for\nthe version of this portion previously released on GDH #320. \n-- G.S. Hamilton",

"notes": "--2025 Work--\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n--Converted the original .shn (Hamilton) files to 14H kbps / 44 kHz .wav files using TLH. Retracked and made each track\ntransition smoother (there were a ton of drop outs and cuts in the first set and some spurious issues in the second).\nPatched in the GD #320 tracks - '17 He's Gone' through '20 I Know You Rider' and adjusted levels and volume to match with\nthe orignial Cassette source. All sound editing / patching was done with crossfades and direct patches using Roxio Sound\nEditor (2009). Converted back to flac1644 using TLH. This has long been a favorite show of mine and I loved the opportunity to get this gem\nto shine just a little bit brighter. :) Thank you to G.S. Hamilton to get the original seed out there.\nAll post work done by Brian Flegel - brianflegel@gmail.com - 05/13/2025 & 05/14/2025--",
