About This Show

Recorded from the audience on DAT at Cafe Java in Larkspur on March 25, 1999 — a 21-song solo set of Hannan originals with covers of John Prine (including a rare “Angel of Montgomery”) and Paddy Nash, plus a pair of Irish traditionals. Kelly Peterson joins Jerry for “Daddy.”

This tape also holds a second date (April 8, 1999), split out as its own show.

Broadband noise reduction (noise reduction = 8dB, sensitivity = 5) was applied to the full recording in Audacity before the tracks were split, then the usual −20 LUFS normalization.
