Yesterday I archived an audio copy of the David Gans interview with Owsley "Bear" Stanley on Jan, 13, 1991.

The live music recordings that I taped are on The Internet Archive. This music should be brought to the attention of students, scholars, musicians, teachers, professors, and librarians. On the other hand, this 4-hour audio stream is a good source for testing out your mobile devices and their Apps. See if you have the ability to continuously stream music from the Live Music Archive while you're driving to Telluride.
