Tom,

I've listened to the whole album and I like it very much.
Everybody's playing sounds really good. Your Tron is nicely
recorded. Are you using original tapes or a newer set? The 3 Violins
has a sweet sound, almost like a MkII. Did you run it through a tube
preamp? Care to share your Tron recording techniques? Double track
with stereo pan? Choice of reverb? EQ'ing, etc.?
