Re: [ARSCLIST] Article on processing a Woodie Guthrie wire recording

["Watsky, Lance" <lwatsky@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Joel, 

Thanks for posting, but I actually have an old radio broadcast of Woody
with some of his friends live in the studio, incl. Cisco Houston and
Sonny Terry. 

It's interesting though that the release came from a wire recording, as
many of the Guthrie recordings at the Smithsonian Folkways are on glass
platters. I cleaned the glass, by hand, and then carefully transferred
the recordings to digital and analogue, when I was in Graduate School
serving an internship at Folkways. 

Best,
Lance

recording

Dear friends:
 
I hope this article is of interest to some. Is it indeed the only known
live
recording by Guthrie???
 
Best,

Short, 44, is part of a team that has received a Grammy nomination in
the
best historical album category for a tricky restoration of a wire
recording
- an analog recording in which the sound is magnetically stored on a
wire
spool - of a 1949 concert by Woody Guthrie. It's the only-known
recording of
a live performance by the folk music legend.
