General

Recorded by Jim Wright on a Nagra. The batteries on the tape recorder fade, and the tape gets increasingly faster increasing the pitch of the tunes by as much as 4 steps higher. Adrian Trevino was also there, and Ken Keppeler and Jeanie McLerie. The session starts out 1/2 tone sharp. Note: Cleo suffered a stroke in October 1985, so these recordings represent how well he played before that, even though he regained use of most of his facilities. * denotes a name Ken and Jeanie gave the tune because it was unnamed.
