*Original recording: Sony D6C analog deck using a Maxell MX-90 cassette. My mic
 was a small but mighty Sony stereo condenser mic powered by a photo battery
 cell (sorry, I can't remember the model number, and I haven't been able to find
 the mic for years). The playback deck was a Nakamichi BX-300. Equalized
 (bass boost) with a Sherwood EQ-200 12-band. Whatever the soundcard is that
 came with it my 3-year old Dell (I can't recall-Turtle Beach?) is what I use,
 edited with the Voyetra (I think, anyway) software that came with the Dell.

The 9/2/90 Strawberry Festival Strength In Numbers show must be one of the most
 circulated shows on the net, deservedly so--great sound, incredible performances.
 But what nobody seems to realize is that it apparently has never circulated
 "complete." I don't know if the radio broadcast cut out or the person who
 seeded the original discs did not have the whole show, but what is missing
 are the last two songs, "Salty Dog Blues," with Sam singing lead, and  the
 traditional bluegrass instrumental, "Ralph's Banjo Special." The reason I
 know this is because I asked a friend of mine to tape the festival for me,
 and gave him my rig to do it. Only problem was he didn't know about the broadcast
 and taped from the audience. It actually worked out well, because some things
 (like Sam Bush's workshop) weren't broadcast in entirety. Maybe that was the
 case for SIN. So I finally dug out my cassettes and transfered the last two
 tunes. Since so many already have the great broadcast version (and if you don't,
 grab it), it seems to me to make the most sense for me to upload my 4-track
 (talk and tunes tracked seperately), 10-minute finale of the show. That way,
 anyone who already has the show can grab the finale and reburn their second
 disc of the show with the finale added.

Enjoy!
