Hey now JB - My name is Ron Currens and I am the founding editor of Hittin' the Note magazine, the Allman Brothers quarterly publication. I need to put you in touch with Kirk West, the Allman Brothers Archivist. He is the only one I would trust with this transfer and he and Capt Skipper have worked together in the past. Thirty-year old reel-to-reel tapes are fragile if they have not been perfectly stored and need to be processed before they are played the first time. An expert could determine if your reels need this treatment by physically examining them. Rejuvenating them would require baking them at low heat for an extended period of time, then playing them back once only -- they must be transferred perfectly on the first run because they will deteriorate rapidly on the take-up reel. If these are tapes of Duane-era live shows, then they are precious beyond words. Please contact me as soon as possible so I can hook you up with Kirk -- the music on these tapes must be preserved. Thank you for your kindness in posting about these tapes on the Allman Brothers Website. I will do everything in my power to preserve the music and get it circulated. Be well, Ron
