Description:

From YouTube user MikeGoat: "Sometime in 1967, during my first year at UCSC, a young woman came hitchiking through UCSC in Santa Cruz California. She stayed in our dorm for one night and played her guitar, sang and laughed and then left. I never knew her name. I heard her singing, grabbed my Sony model 350 Recorder and two cheap dynamic microphines and stood above her while she played and sang. My hands got a little tired after 25 minutes or so. The edits are just me turning the machine to pause mechanically. Occasionally people come in to the dorm room in the middle of the recording. I have had to reduce the bit rate to fit this to the time alloted by Youtube, but that will be remedied.Also, I have equalized just a litte because the mics had very bad high ends due to their mediocre design. For now, it is a stolen moment in time from an anonymous and very talented guitar player and singer. Recorded on the top floor of Parrington House. BEST LISTENED TO WITH HEADPHONES!!"
