Thanks to:
James Welborn the setting up his creamy Neumann U89i pair on the stage.

Joe Baker (of Bay Recorders) for loaning us the extra AD2K and the cables to grab the board feed. 
 
K.C.(house sound) for the cheerful, welcoming - 'can do' attitude and hard work

"Super Dave" Haaf for the free advice just before the show

Special thanks to Fritz and his staff at the Yankee, for running the most taper friendly venue in the Bay Area!
