Recordist's notes
At Finch Park, near the tennis courts, the noon chimes are heard from about a block and a half away. A west wind continues to keep the air temperature relatively low on this early spring Sunday. The township's handyman, with a shovel, tidies up the edges of a sidewalk across the street. Stereo mic (Audio-Technica, AT-822), recorded via Sony MD (MZ-NF810, pre-amp) and Tascam DR-60DmkII.
