Its highlight for me is a delightful 6-minute rendition of Mississippi Sheiks' 'Sitting on Top of the World' that, with Bob Chuckrow on second guitar, captures that singular mood which Gordon Bok once described in a note to 'Reedy Lagoon' as 'summer sadness'. --Stewie. |

The tape includes talk, obviously off stage---Joan emphatically telling a workshop of sorts about a guy that she was quite taken with in New York who tosses off great songs off the top of his head like it was dandruff--Bobby Dylan. Contains Dylan stuff I'd never ever heard. And the young Michael doing "With God On Your Side". But it really is recorded terribly---on a reel-to reel recorder of Mr. Cooney's.
