Here is a really nice little recording of acoustic Phil and (some very good) friends.
 
Here's a sample.

Very cool.  I love Bird Song, probably my favorite piece that my band plays.  So how do you set up the link?  I remember suggesting people posting recordings of their work and Dave or Mica saying it couldn't be done.  So how did you do it?
 
Bill, tgo

Bill, the link was already on the archive.org page. You can download or stream that show in any of several formats including mp3. I merely linked to one of the streaming mp3 files provided by the archive.
 
The whole show is quite nice and if you download the lossless FLAC files, you can convert them to WAV files and burn them to CD for a nice crisp recording.

Very Nice. Thanks Tom!

Does anyone know who built the bass that Phil used for that gig?!? IIRC it was a flat top acoustic six string.... anyone?!?

I think he was playing one of these:

Thanks Greg! That's the one!!! Its a five string w/ high C

Very nice!!  Thanks Tom!

Any suggestions on how to convert the downloaded FLAC file to WAV format?
 
Bill, tgo

Bill - here is the entry from the Archive FAQs. If you're a Mac OSX user I recommend using xACT instead of MacFLAC as it will also decode SHN files (and other formats) and allow for encoding as well. Other club members may have alternative recommendations for Microsoft OS users.
 
Tom

I use FLAC Frontend.

Thanks guys.  Decoded, burned, and I'm listening to it now.  Next I'll make a label for it.  Ain't computers grand??!!.  Now does anyone have the link to a program to convert shn files to wav?  
 
Bill, tgo

Bill - go back to the Archive FAQs. It's in there.

Bill; for that purpose I use the MKW Audio Compression Tool.
