Live in-studio radio session from The Iditarod for BSR , Brown Student Radio. Recorded twenty years ago. Holy shit, TWENTY YEARS.
Thanks to student DJ @therewasaguy Jason Sigal for hosting. And the legendary @workdeath Scott Reber for engineering the session.
Also big thanks to @brokedownpod Jonathan Hart for giving me his old DAT machine awhile back, saving this recording from oblivion.
This is the first performance ever that featured @miriamminimum Miriam Goldberg on cello, she has just joined the group a few weeks earlier for our March 2003 UK tour with Sharron Kraus. Also features the mythical @williamschaff Will Schaff .
