COMMENTARY

1. Good sequence; men talking in background, girls screaming, boys imitating bugles, motorcycle storms through.

2. Interesting ambience; mumbly conversation between 2 men.

4. At beginning of take, waltz music accompanies bird sounds very funky. Later recordist takes bird outside.

5. Begins with recordist huffing and puffing up hill; water gushing out of tap masks conversation, however.

8. Typical of Cembra - motorcycles frequently roared through the relatively quiet village in this way.

9. Two young women at work, juke box filtering out of Albergo (hotel).
