HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Jorus Merrill compiled this tape and shared it with a few friends up and down the Mara Corridor, the super-hyperlane that he and his wife Alna D'Lessio charted. It percolated through the Underground, then the Kathol Outback, then the Outer Rim Confederation and Outer Planets Alliance. At any given shadowport, you can hear someone with a stringed instrument; any such owner of a stringed instrument at a shadowport will probably know at least one of these songs.
- Intent: An awesome spacer playlist.
