Matt Wheeler opened & joined the band for Goodnight Irene.

The complete wave file was normalized to balance the channels. No compression was used on this recording.

The photo was taken from my seat. I was clamped onto the rail shown at the right on the photo.

For Goodnight Irene, the band gathered in the center of the floor. I twisted the mics to get a better capture but it is still quiet. You can hear a little "squeak" when I tilted the mics downward.

Thanks to the artists and the friendly folks at World Cafe Live for allowing me to record!

A recording is very nice but it doesn't compare to being there!
