Jimmie Dale Gilmore- Strawberry Festival, Angels Camp Ca 10/4/96 onsite FM Sbd xfer from DAT Clone

Here’s today’s good time listening thing. I think this came from the guy in Auburn whose name I can’t remember. He mastered a bunch of Jam/Folk/Country stuff in the 90s. I never made it to one of the Strawberry fests, but I heard that they supplied a low power on-site FM broadcast so campers could listen from the campsite. Some innovative folks figured out how to power an FM receiver and record the sets.
Good set by JDG, and he wasn’t the most open person about taping so this is a rare treat.

Junior Brown- Strawberry Music Festival, Camp Mather Yosemite Ca 9/5/92 xfer from DAT Sbd-FM Clone

Here’s a fun one for today’s On This Date in History. The Strawberry Music Fest has historically operated/broadcast a low power FM signal of the live sets across the festival grounds. I think the purpose was for people camping- they could still listen to the fest performances from their campsite. But of course, we had some creative tapers who would bring in an FM receiver and a cassette deck or in this case, a DAT recorder to tape the fest.

This one sounds really great, and Junior is blazing- what a guitar shredder! You don’t really expect that if you are new to his performances, but he totally rips.
