The reel was played on a modified Revox A77 reel-to-reel machine with a Reutelhuber custom designed and built tape head preamplifier incorporating 2003 era technology and components including all metal film resistors, polypropylene coupling capacitors, and low ESR electrolytic supply bypass capacitors. The resulting analog signal was digitized by a Mytek Digital 8X96 analog to digital converter using Steinberg Nuendo as the recording software and saved as a 24-bit 48kHz WAV file. Post processing was done with Nuendo using the following Waves Plugins: Q10, X-Hum, S1 Shuffler and L3. The file was dithered down to a 16-bit/44.1kHz WAV file. The box is labeled "BG5 (Old)." The reel is labeled "Bgrass 5 (Old)." Tut Taylor Archive Reel #61 contains two sets of recordings. Side A features Tut Taylor's longtime friends, The Bluegrass Five; about half the songs are bluegrass standards. The other half of the songs consist of a guitarist (J.N. Baxter?) singing gospel and Jimmy Rodgers-inspired tunes. Side B contains an Osborne Brothers concert recorded in Atlanta, Georgia in May of 1965. Interestingly, Sonny and Bobby Osborne (on banjo and mandolin, respectively) perform as a trio, accompanied only by Gordon Cash on acoustic guitar and vocals. --Mitchell Wittenberg "This recording was originally made available by The Steam Powered Preservation Society, 501(c)(3), at www.thespps.org.
