There is a story behind this that I have been told.  So it goes, Paul's friends (neighbors?) kept asking if he would record for them and he kept turning them down.

At some point they said "name a price" for them to pay him to record.  So Paul threw out a figure that he thought was so high they would not pay... but they agreed to it.

He was not happy about having to do it so he rushed through. 

This is the first time I have heard all of the record.  While it is rushed it is nice to hear him play.  It sounds to me like it was all recorded in one take.  Is there any chance you made audio files of this?

Fun! I always thought the stuff he did on the Pete Seeger "Rainbow Quest" show was rushed, like he was nervous being filmed. He certainly scampers thru the OT stuff!

Ooh! I like this. Good versions too. Somehow I hadn't seen this segment before.
