content: Recording of 1966 live show by The country Gentlemen, location unknown, likley by Gary Henderson. Formed in 1957 with DC area performers, The"Gents" bridged the progressive and urban "New Grass" with more traditional bluegrass styles and were popular during the folk revival. Originally released in 1973 on Folkways FTS 31031 "The Country Gentlemen, Vol. 4: Going Back to the Blue Ridge Mountains" and rereleased FWS 40175. Liner notes for these albums indicate Tom Gray as the bass player, but he left the group in 1964, likley it is Ed Ferris on bass.
