Set III
 
Comment
Taj is interviewed, talks about the origins and different styles of the blues, and plays examples on an unamplified acoustic guitar.

The interviewer says that about three hours of raw material was recorded and that we've just heard "a preliminary edit"; that what we've heard is about a third of this interview (approximately one hour) and what will be broadcast will be about a sixth (half an hour).

Notes: original recording lineage was either: FM > Hi-Fi VHS master > cassette (Sony UCX-S 90, Dolby off) or: FM > cassette (Sony UCX-S 90, Dolby off) (I suspect that I recorded this direct to cassette, otherwise the cassette would have some overlap, ie., some repeated material, at the end of side A and the beginning of side B.) transfer lineage: JVC KD-V6 (playback, with Dolby off) > Sek'd Prodif Plus soundcard > Sound Forge 8 (24 bit, normalize, track splits) > 16 bit .wav files > FLAC level 8 encoding align on sector boundaries. No noise reduction was done.
