Recorded, mastered, and tracked by Scott Bernstein

Notes:
Tab was the opening act on this cruise, playing before Anders Osborne's main set.  Tab also sat in with Anders, on drums for one song, and guitar for the other.

The Rocks Off people installed a new JBL PA system since the last time I was on one this boat (last fall) which was a HUGE improvement in the sound.  You can hear how clean and crisp the recording is, and how clear the stereo imaging is -- NICE!
