General
Note:
From the middle of Side B there appears a new voice that is interviewed by Gerry Gilbert closer to the end they seem to be talking simultaneously and Gilbert is very quiet, while the second voice is loud. Gilbert mentions the name of the last singer and the person who wrote the song, it can be understood if the names are familiar, but I do not know them and will not be able to find them.
