Recordist's notes
After a moment's wait, about 60 children and their parents hunt for plastic eggs on the Saturday before Easter Sunday. Several inches of snow remain on the ground, after a big snowstorm a few days earlier. Music and a costumed Easter Bunny are part of the festivities. Stereo mic (Audio-Technica, AT-822), recorded via Sony MD (MZ-NF810, pre-amp) and Tascam DR-60DmkII.
