On youtube someone has posted an audio file of a pirate tape from Boston 1969 of Horowitz playing the 13th HR. Thought the group might be interested in hearing...
I have a slightly better quality version of the same performance for anyone who wants it. Sadly it was apparently recorded professionally by Sony but after the...
