	I read on the web that Happy Traum says this is actually
	from late 63-Jan and was recorded at Gil Turner's apartment 
	in the East Village, NY:
	
	
	QUESTIONS #3: The famous "Banjo Tape":
	Where was that tape recorded?

	In "Stolen Moments", Heylin quotes Stefan Grossman and 
	attributes the tape to Feb 8, 1963, recorded in the basement 
	of "Gerde's Folk City" (which would make this the first of 
	Dylan's "Basement Tapes" :-) Krogsgaard attributes this tape 
	to late Jan 1963 and the home of Gil Turner. Which version is 
	true, as far as you recall? 
	
	HAPPY TRAUM:
	At Gil Turner's apartment in the East Village, NYC, not 
	Gerde's Folk City basement.
	
	
	
	Review (from the great "BobsBoots" site): 

	The obscure Banjo Tape has never sounded better. Long thought 
	to have come from a home recording by Gill Turner, it is now 
	thought to have been recorded on February 8th at Folk City. 
	Happy Traum sings harmony and plays the banjo (from whence 
	the recording derived its' name). Gill Turner provides harmony 
	on the final track. The Town Hall tape is a 'must-have' for fans 
	of early Dylan. The concert was line recorded directly from the 
	soundboard, and several tracks were intended for an ill-fated 
	live CBS LP. Two tracks eventually did see official release. 
	'Tomorrow Is A Long Time' on 'Greatest Hits 2' and 'Masterpieces', 
	and 'Last Thoughts On Woody' (wisely omitted on this release) on 
	'The Bootleg Series 1-3". Three other tracks from that show that 
	were left off of this disc are 'Dusty Old Fairgrounds', 
	'All Over You', and 'John Brown'. It was a mistake leaving them off, 
	and including a pirate track of 'Tomorrow Is A Long Time'. The 
	package is incredible with beautiful photos and great looking aesthetics.
