On this episode I review the Zoom H5 Handy Digital Audio Recorder and discuss my experiences up to that point making some first recordings. I describe the external features and ergonomics the device, then offer a basic description of some of the software features from a layperson perspective. Included is some music I captured of a live blues band at a new year's eve celebration along with a recording of myself playing Scotland the Brave on the bagpipes within the bays at the fire station.
