Well, I'm hoping that one of us has a copy of the original CD that is still readable. If not, we at least do have the MP3s that were ripped from it. In the case of the disk I was working on yesterday, I do have a usable disk with the vocal selections from the concert, but the instrumental selections may be lost forever in their original form. -- David W.
