Notes:
In 1998 my then-7 year old daughter, Aradia, was a big fan of Peter
Himmelman's kids' CD "My best friend is a Salamander".  We used to sing
along to it all the time.  My then-4 year old son, Zane, loved it too.  When
I heard Peter was coming to Eugene, I emailed him and explained that my
daughter loved his song so much that she'd like to sing it with him when he
came through town.  He emailed me back and said he'd be glad to.  The
concert was fun and Aradia sang in her cute and squeaky voice.  Several
months later I received a phone call asking if my daughter was Aradia.

Turns out there was a big fan there who had asked him if it was ok to tape
the show.  Peter apparently said yes and this guy was allowed to hook up his
cassette deck to the soundboard.  He taped it and when listening to it later
he heard "Gordon Kelley".  He looked me up in the phone book and called me
to offer me a copy of the show.  Of course, I wanted it!  A year or so
later, I put it on CDR.  At the time I didn't have the know-how or software
to track it properly, so each track was one side of a cassette tape.

Fast forward to 2002: I copied the show onto my Mac and separated it into
individual tracks.  The original cassettes weren't labeled as to which order
they went in and there were a couple tracks from a different show sandwiched
into one of the cassettes..... so I'm not sure that I have the concert in
correct order nor that I have every track.  In fact, I guarantee that some
of the tracks are not in correct order....I'm just not sure which order they
do go in.  

Warning to purists: This show has some staticky digi-noise on a few tracks,
but it's not present through most of it.  It not a perfect recording by any
stretch of the mind.  The noise is most present during the loud parts, so
I'm inclined to think it's from either the original master cassette
recording or from when I transferred the cassette a few years ago.  I have
lost the original cassette by now, so I can't go back and see if my original
has the noise on it.  It's mildly annoying in places, but overall doesn't
detract from the fantastic sound quality of the rest of the show.  I find it
quite listenable, and I hope you do too.
