Taper's notes:
We each had identical Craig recorders (see attachment), with a small handheld mike. We also had 5 extra C batteries in our pockets, crazy.  I think my friend put it on a computer and then transferred it to CD.  One of those stories I tell, another favorite of mine, is from a Black Sabbath show (unannounced) at the Whiskey A GoGo on the Sunset Strip. It's a very famous club, known for the DOORS being the house band.  Don't ask me how I found out about BS playing their. It was just fate. They wore white tuxedos. Unbelievable. We were freaking out and trying not to show it. We were right in front of the stage. To make a long story short... during a drum solo, his drum stick broke and flew forward, yup, right into my chest and I caught it. I still have it (see attachment). That's the truth and I'm sticking to it.  Whew!
