Total Time ::: 2:12:20

- Most excellent SBD. Check samples for personal scrutiny or flashes or feverish elation.
- Warts: None really. Wavy went off mike on occasion & it's compensated for. He's a bit too close to the mike at other times.
- RARE more than 2 hour Wavy storytelling performance in GREAT form, the best I saw back in the day.
