Technical notes:
It took me 3 days to scrub over 500 annoying claps from this recording -- in tracks 4,5,8,11,14,15,16,17,18,20, and 21.  I don't understand how one person could have clapped loudly near my mics nearly 100 times in the first minute of Track 8!  And there were lots of other annoying clappers including the worst -- the "overhead" clappers!  PLEASE people, if you are standing anywhere within 6 feet in front of a pair of mics, please restrain yourself from doing the "overhead" clap thing!!!  Anyone who was there will attest that I ran my mic stand at full height to reduce the chance of clappers affecting the recording, but they did in spades.  Anyway, I hope you enjoy my hard, mindnumbing, tedious "declap" work!
