The Folk Song And Minstrelsy album is part of my musical DNA. I have tapes my dad made 50+ years ago that I tried to digitize, but he had mixed everything up, and some of it was either recorded badly or the tape had gone bad that it made getting a decent copy impossible. I think I have the records, or I was looking into getting them, and haven't gotten around to digitizing those.

I haven't heard the other two, but they look amazing. So thank you for this, I can't begin to say how much a good copy of Folk Song And Minstrelsy means to me.

Glad I could help EricC, you had a rich musical upbringing like me I see. Cool that you are in that field of entertainment. Some of these had groove wear and lots O' pop's to cut out but not so's you'd know it. Found a new software function after all these years of rippin' that takes care of fuzzy groove wear on this project or maybe it's hard gunk in the grooves. Anyhoo I think they turned out O.K. but like I've said before I can go back on any of my keeper vinyl like these and try to redo if any offending sounds seem evident. Hey didn't know you had the ripping ability...if you ever wanted to share something feel free to comment with it and I'll put together what I have to add to it. Cheers old friend!

The bits of Folk Song And Minstrelsy that I listened to sounded great. What software do you use?

We have three studios (of sorts) in our house. Our podcast studio, which is my main desktop plus mics and mixer. The acoustic demo studio which is home for the acoustic instruments and is also our rehearsal space. And the electronic studio downstairs, which is where the synths, electric guitars, USB turntable and USB tape deck live.

We're kinda into music in this house.

Most of what I have ripped are tapes of local bands. I spent several months two years ago going through my collection of everything I had bought in the 80s and 90s. None of these bands ever got out of Iowa.

Thank you. I have that Folk Song and Minstrely box set, but no MP3 of it. The other two are great finds.
