The Lost Cream Faith Tapes

What we’ve got is here:

Well, first of all, they’re not tapes, but you knew that.

They’re really lost, though.

We were there in plenty of time, which turned out to be wise, and I took the pole I sometimes use to record bands to get up in air somewhat away from the extraneous noise (talking).

But I had failed to consider the possibility that my sound card might fill up and stop working, which it did twice. There were a couple of other pole-bumping issues but right now I don’t know whether they impacted the recording.

Turns out, I may never know what happened because the Zoom recording device I use vanished somewhere along the line of the return trip.

Of course, that’s impossible, but it happened.

So have obtained audio from two other Byron’s tapers, just to fill in the gap because this was a spectacular show.

Cream Faith is: Kofi Baker, Ric Fierabracci, and Bobby Messano
