master, transfer, seed by john m

notes: level adjustment after first song.  tiny room and packed house on a sunday night. the laughter you hear
in set 1 track 4 and 5 is due to shad's dog hanging out on stage doing "cute" dog stuff.  during quiet times you can
hear foot tapping from stage and crowd.
 brief knocking sound in set 2 track 4 during mandolin solo is his mando
hitting the house mic as he's jamming.
  shad cobb is amazing and john's voice is in great shape.

john cowan - bass/vocals
jeff autry - acoustic guitar/vocals
shad cobb - fiddles/vocals
john frazier - mandolin/vocals

thanks to mr cowan for supporting tapers throughout the years!  go see him live and buy his stuff.
