Thank you for recording and sharing it with us. As far howling or other wise disturbing people: I record shows myself and when I know they will spoil part of my recording I gesture them to be quiet and point to my mics, most times it helps. My experience is that often they feel ashamed being recorded. It's possible that the fact that I'm a female taper helps, men don't like to be "corrected" by other men. It can also be a different attitude in my country ( the Netherlands). I downloaded your recording via Co-tapers and have enjoyed it very much. Thank you for recording and sharing it with us.

Some people are blatant and will walk right up to the microphones and yell into them. These folks are just ignorant fools and there isn't much you can do about them. Others are just having a really good time, have had a few beers and don't realize that the mics are even there. They are the out-of-beat clappers, ear piercing whistlers and, well, howlers. I don't think the recording is ruined, although it can be annoying to listen to. It’s a tough call whenever someone is being overly loud at the microphones.
