6850.016 USB, nice audio 0050 UTC, Hurdy Gurdy Man by Donovan, S9 + in Lancaster PA.

I can't say enough about the production and audio, great :) and the material too even if it's not from the original artists. Chameleon would be a nice long one, gives you time to answer nature's call and get a snack :p
