Yes, many thanks indeed!!! You too hopped. It's fantastic to see so many recordings going up lately.
I don't mind posting stuff for Andrew and it seems he has divided the load between tous and I. That's really cool. I received an unsolicited show in the mail this week from a stranger. I assume I am expected to track it and up it, but that probably ain't gonna happen since there is a source up already.
I think I've got three more shows that are not circulated to upload. I'll try to get them up this week. One is lossy, but I think that the LMA is getting laxer on the rules for shows that don't have any other source.
I think one of the best aspects of a Yarn show is that we get a good mix of verse-chorus-verse and songs with extended jams. I recently went to a jam band show where the singer thought he was Zack de la Rocha and there was endless, repetitive noodling and synthesizers. I broke down my rig four songs in and went home.
Like the Grateful Dead, Yarn's music is grounded in great songs. You can jam away into the stratosphere but if there's nothing compelling your return, it's easy to lose interest.
