Acutally according to Urb, "The Document was from a live show on WFNX in
Boston that lit up the phones, which speaking of I heard a show on my local
Jazz PBS radio station about a Philly Jazz DJ who just put out a
compiliation of songs "that lit up the phones" or something to that effect,
it has the most amazing recording of "Some Where Over the Rainbow" that I
have ever heard, the last not the dude sings is enough for the price of
admission alone, any leads? much appreciated.
