Annimaterra, You might include a () after the printed, BOO! (Yell as loudly as you can), or, (Your best scream). When I first recorded it, in Ed Canby's Greenwich Villge flat, he wouldn't let me scream because he was afraid it would injure his microphone, so, that wiggly funny noise is Ed himself, and it came out something like a horse's whinny, "Nyyyyyyyynynyny!" I've always regretted that I let him do that. I think that by the time of the JR Concert tape recording, microphones were hardier and I did a good hefty yell. Jean
