View Notes...And yet another installment from the 'PA Deli Mike' project!!!

If a small, awesome-sounding venue like the Berkeley Community Theater is your bag, you
may wanna jump on this one!  Mike recorded this from the front of the OTS
(Section 'CTR', row 'FF', seat '5' for those who are interested), and the SQ is just superb.
The Stella is 'stellar'.  The only problem is Mike almost tore his hair out of his head trying
to decide where to put the track index for it!!

As with all of Mike's recordings, this source is new to circulation.

Hope you all enjoy it, and stay tuned for the next installment coming soon!!!
