Rehearsal Tapes

The recordings linked below came from HSQ Rehearsals recorded at Morrie Crawford's house. If you want perfection, purchase the commercial CD's that are for sale. It seems that Dad often just let the tape run, capturing a lot of conversation. I have purposely left in conversations and a few errors. On some of the complete numbers I have done a bit of noise reduction because it was just too annoying for me. Pick whichever flavor you prefer to listen to.

These are the recordings where it was my job (as a ~6 year old) to take the dog outside and keep her quiet. (I suspect it was also to keep me outside and quiet).
