Side A:
Stereo room recording starts at 00:06. Unidentified, unknown improvisers. Someone plays harmonica on right (in a competent blues style - in other words, it is obviously not Hal), drum kit on left (also played competently). I’m guessing that this might be the Monochrome Bleu group members, who visited Debbie Jaffe and me in the Summer of 1986. The drum kit and all of the percussion gear probably belonged to my brother, Mark McGee, who left his drum kit and percussion gear at our house for several weeks/months. At about the 4:00 minute mark somebody starts playing congas. At about 5:00 the drum kit stops and two people start playing miscellaneous percussion devices. Harmonica resumes. Etc. It sounds like there are probably three people playing during this recording. The likelihood that Debbie and I are among the players is less than zero. Sound stops at 16:25. Tape ends at 16:48. I am not absolutely sure who the players are, and I have no way of knowing. There is a voice at the end of the side of tape that sounds “American”.
Side B:
More of the same.
