Many, many thanks go to BigDee for kindly doing a great job of mastering this recording. I only rejoined in Audacity and then created additional splits in CD Wave editor to separate the chats and songs into separate tracks (hopefully I didn't detract from any of BigDees work).Chris Wood's banter is very engaging and well worth a listen.The songwriting is brilliant, all songs are from Chris's CD "Handmade Life".
