Finding this thread, at this late date, is like day job vu all over again.

That had to be a monumental task digitizing those old tapes from the age ravaged and deterriorated old reel-to-reel tapes of those University of Chicago Folk Festivals. We put several tracks from my sets at various of those fests on my 1998 CD and we had to bake the tapes in a convection oven to set the oxide before they could be played one time only to make the DAT tape. After that the reels were just trash. It's great thr who shebang was saved. Thanks should go to Kate Early and Rich Warren and radio station WFMT-FM in Chicago and others for doing the truly hard work on that project.
