Janis Joplin - Vocals 
Jorma Kaukonen – Guitar

Recorded in Jorma’s House, San Francisco, CA, 64-06-25

I’ve always loved the vintage aesthetic to this recording. It gives me a good sense of what it might have been like to live in San Francisco during the sixties and bear witness to all sorts of spontaneous musical events. Janis‘ heart wrenching voice is accompanied by the fingerstyle sounds of Jorma Kaukonen on the guitar.

Recorded on June 30, 1964, they call it The Typewriter Tape because you can hear a typewriter in the background played by Margareta Kaukonen (Jorma’s wife at the time) as a percussion instrument. --- cuckoobird.net

The Typewriter Tape is a rare and precious bootleg of Janis Joplin, recorded on June 25, 1964 at the home of Jorma Kaukonen, future guitarist for the Jefferson Airplane, accompanied by Margareta Kaukonen, wife of Jorma, on the typewriter (as a percussion instrument ).

There are reports that Margareta Kaukonen had no intention of percussing with the typewriter. I was writing, really. It is known that she was a plastic artist and poet, having painted covers and also written letters (under the pseudonym Malles Meje) in partnership with Jorma (example: To hot to handle – 1985). Therefore, typing was mere incidental and accidental sound while friends played with their instruments, all of them strings (nylon, steel, and vocals). ---rockdownload.org
