I love this - I rediscovered it yesterday sifting through my Bandcamp downloads.
Sounds a fabulous way to spend your eveningNow listening to live coverage of the Porch Stomp festival from Governor’s Island in the middle of New York Harbour on WKCR. Loads of different stages with country, folk and blues musicians. All acoustic, no sound systems - occasionally the music is drowned out by the noise of passing boats and helicopters. But it sounds wonderful - wish I was there.

Curiously, it is 20 minutes a side but plays at 45rpm. It's a quite beautiful sounding recording: I'm not sure I've had such a clear impression of being "in the room" with a piano before.
One of my all-time favourite guitarists - Ed Bickert. An original voice on his Telecaster with beautiful chord voicings.
It was lovely. I particularly liked the singer who stopped abruptly after a few rather atonal finger-picked chords. “Hmm. That doesn’t sound right at all!” she said. Then she giggled. “Oh. I’ve forgotten to put the capo on!”Sounds a fabulous way to spend your evening
