Abstract

Interview with Max Tanner on drive up Thomas Ranch in Nevada. Hal Cannon and Tom Carter interviewing. 11 July 1985: childhood activity; changes in roads, fauna; ranching; fencing. NOTE: too much disturbance in 4wd drive, so after this reel-to-reel tape, switched to cassette tape, see ATC004-008. Top cut off, level very low, and the levels change dramatically as the recordist sets levels. Recorded in a vehicle. Substantial amounts of rumble. Tape stops briefly in mid sentence at times (perhaps the reels were bumped during the recording). Microphone is overloaded by wind/handling noises at times. Level drops dramatically at 15:50 for a few seconds. Tail cut off. Total duration: 33 minutes.
