I wish I had known this when he was alive. My uncle Jeffrey sent me a cassette of Arty jamming with some friends back in 1979. I cleaned it up, and it&#8217;s available to listen below. The tracks labelled &#8220;Interlude&#8221; are extended talking sections between the musicians. There are some minor issues; Not all of the tracks have clean start and end points, there is some weirdness with the stereo channels, and there is a lot of tape hiss, but considering the age, I think it sounds great. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n\t<div class=\"wp-playlist wp-audio-playlist wp-playlist-light\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-playlist-current-item\"><\/div>\n\t\t<audio controls=\"controls\" preload=\"none\" width=\"1148\"\n\t\t\t><\/audio>\n\t<div class=\"wp-playlist-next\"><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wp-playlist-prev\"><\/div>\n\t<noscript>\n\t<ol>\n\t\t<li><a href='https:\/\/jlopatin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Track-1.mp3'>Track 1<\/a><\/li><li><a href='https:\/\/jlopatin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Track-2.mp3'>Track 2<\/a><\/li><li><a href='https:\/\/jlopatin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Interlude-1.mp3'>Interlude 1<\/a><\/li><li><a href='https:\/\/jlopatin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Track-3.mp3'>Track 3<\/a><\/li><li><a href='https:\/\/jlopatin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Track-4.mp3'>Track 4<\/a><\/li><li><a href='https:\/\/jlopatin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Interlude-2.mp3'>Interlude 2<\/a><\/li><li><a href='https:\/\/jlopatin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Track-5.mp3'>Track 5<\/a><\/li><li><a href='https:\/\/jlopatin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Interlude-3.mp3'>Interlude 3<\/a><\/li><li><a href='https:\/\/jlopatin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Track-6.mp3'>Track 6<\/a><\/li><li><a href='https:\/\/jlopatin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Track-7.mp3'>Track 7<\/a><\/li><li><a href='https:\/\/jlopatin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Track-8.mp3'>Track 8<\/a><\/li><li><a href='https:\/\/jlopatin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Interlude-4.mp3'>Interlude 4<\/a><\/li>\t<\/ol>\n\t<\/noscript>\n\t<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" type=\"application\/json\" class=\"wp-playlist-script\">{\"type\":\"audio\",\"tracklist\":true,\"tracknumbers\":true,\"images\":false,\"artists\":false,\"tracks\":[{\"src\":\"https:\\\/\\\/jlopatin.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/04\\\/Track-1.mp3\",\"type\":\"audio\\\/mpeg\",\"title\":\"Track 1\",\"caption\":\"\",\"description\":\"\\\"Track 1\\\" from Unknown Music by Uncle Arty & Friends.
