Dear fellow tapers:  This is an updated verson of the list that I sent
out to you about 2 months ago.  I want to thank those of you who
emailed me to help correct the mistakes and add to it.

       Please examine the list below and correct me if I have included any
misinformation.   Also, updates are in order, as the bands' taping policies
often change with time.
       Note that (a) = audio taping allowed, (v) means video taping allowed
and BA = (sound)board access allowed.  <> represents the location of a
band. BTW, if you see <?> after a band, please help me locate their hometown.
 Also, if you don't see "BA" after the band, you can assume that their
official policy is to not allow it, even if they occasionally do.  Enough pre-
amble, let's get down to the business at hand.
