Music recorded live at locations throughout Anchorage
in the 70s
Last update May 17, 2008
During the years 1970 to 1978, it was my hobby to visit various night clubs in Anchorage and make recordings of the bands. Also, I was associated with Arctic Studios from about 1976 to 1978, and took part in many recording sessions there. Now, over 30 years later, it occurred to me that these may have historical value. Therefore, I now present some of them on this site for your enjoyment. The sound quality varies from barely ok to not too bad! - Dwight Finger
