Notes: These tapes are the masters recorded on a rainy night in the pit. 
William Morgan gave his masters to Alf to preserve and now have been archived for all. 
The recording is primitive, the mics get knocked around, chaos breaks out, and 
there is a lot of request given from close range. If you've never been to 
Green Acres you'll feel it now. As Béla says, the place has a "Yee-Ha Factor" of 11.
