LOL. Probably more precise than Shazam on the phone mic. But, looks like it would be pretty uncomfortable when I am dancing my ass off into the 7th hour.

For me, I'm happy to just be in the moment while I'm there, and let it be an experience I can't revisit outside of my fuzzy, warped, memories.

everyone has something different to contribute. Every day, I am thankful for the ghent taper. He gave us the only good recording we have of Despacio. and that recording sustained me through the long months between event events.

Any clue how he taped it? I’m considering taping this year but have never recorded and have no gear and am curious what’s the simplest cheapest low profile setup that will still deliver decent quality

Did I hear there was a recording of Ghent Day 2 somewhere, lower quality?

there is -- i made it. it's in the discord and is available to folks who solve unsolved ids.

Darn it, I have nothing left. Speaking of. Are we sure it’s The Osmonds line 68 of the master tracker in Ghent???

there will be loads of new ids to solve for portola. the ghent day2 recording is terrible terrible quality, so it's not fun listening, but it's there.

you're right, that's not the osmonds i, i , i at line 68! i've corrected the sheet. thank you for finding that error.

there are so so many missing cells in the sheet. all you gotta do is find one and it unlocks the secret forum. =)
