REEL 84 COMMENTARY
General Remarks: Recorded in the basement of the man's house -- very quiet, warm ambience. His voice is always very near and clear. Most of the sounds were too, except those which were too near and became distorted; at close range, no matter what the recording levels, small bell combinations seem to distort.
