For those of you who have inquired


I remember him. He was quiet man. I did sound for a show he did in Ohio about 10 years ago. They were more low key than any act I ever worked with. It was like they were all hung over or coming down or something.
They were good. Just odd. Like 6 or 7 of them hung around behind the stage the whole time at a festival and didn't really speak.

Another oddball backstage: Steve Smith from Journey. He was just plain whacko. I went to check on him before the show to make sure he had no PA needs or wants, and he acted like he was solving the mysteries of the universe and I screwed him up. He was such a knob I went directly to the console and hooked up a DAT deck that I had in the rack. You freak at me... I bootleg you. :)
 
Roger, we met once in Miami. You don't strike me as the kind of guy that quits a job because it's too tough. I guarantee I've never failed at anything due to lack of effort (if ya don't count my divorce 20 years ago :) )


Thanks Joe. Some people call it perseverence and some call it stubborness. Hell, I can't tell the difference. I guess that it really doesn't matter what it is as long as it sees me through. Life has a way of testing you and I have developed a philosophy to get me through. When you can't see your way to next week, just worry about tomorrow. When you can't see your way to tomorrow, just go hour by hour one hour at a time. There have been times that I did'nt know how I would make it another hour so I went minute to minute. This has gotten me through some of my darkest hours. Just put one foot in front of the other and keep the faith.

Looking forward to having a beer with you someday Joe.

Joe; I think that you should watch "Animusic" videos when you are taking you medicine. Some say that "medicine" actually makes them better. Just tryin' to help.

Did you look in my den? :D I had two full racks of outboard gear. :D

Yeah, but in the end, bbe on a whole mix is whack. BBE on a bass rig.... ok.
I think that it kind of came and went like a lot of phase shift type DSPs.

For a moment in time... I was the systems division manager at Paragon, I had a sweet studio downtown, had a bunch of rigs out, had great mixing gigs, solid on-hold messaging business and an acoustic consulting and church system business.

Sorry for the hi-jack Cuda. :)

It must be in our genetics.
Dad was a poor farm boy from West Virgina, but the wisest and smartest man I ever met. Dad said back when he and his two closest brothers were getting out of high school together, dad, and Charles pooled the money they made cutting timber off Grandpa's farm, gave it to Robert to start college. It was a good investment.

But he taught me a lot more life lessons. He say stuff like, "Boy, if you can't outmuscle it, you gotta outsmart it".
