REEL 22 COMMENTARY
The noted events do not represent a complete list, only an outline. The recordist moved about like anybody else, stopping at points to listen. Voices and instruments come and go, some with distinct clarity, others appearing at various distances. Occasionally someone will address the microphones or the recordist directly, but much of the activity seems to go on unaffected by the presence of either.
1. "Entering the field incorrectly" (i.e., turning machine on in middle of activity).
2. "Entering the field correctly" (i.e., approaching from a distance). Hare Krishna people.
