Sound Bites

Please Note: These audio files are mono, 8 bit, with 8 kHz sampling. In other words, they are really low fidelity. Please don't judge the sonic quality of the original recordings from these samples! The live tracks were recorded in 16-bit digital format (on two Tascam DA88 8-tracks), and the sonic quality of the CD is excellent.
