Description

Interviewer: Michael Taft, Recordist: Guha Shankar. Recorded at Barnard Observatory (University of Mississippi). Casey Dixon frequently leaned back in his chair and also shifted from side to side, which often put him off-mike. Combined with the preamp's inherent hiss, this may result in more than usual nose in the recording.
