Saturnalia (Peter Kairo and Sally McKnight) – Elegance and Arrogance – 1967 Full Album

Another tape I found while digging in New Orleans record stores. I was completely incapable of tracing any information about the album. Sally McKnight seems to have been referenced on websites (eg. https://knox.villagesoup.com/p/1425224) and with my stalking abilities I managed to find her contacts, in case you wish to support by hiring her to play some hammer dulcimer for you.

I have good reasons to assume that the certain Peter Kairo is this Pete Kairo, as uploaded by Hwabian 1:
