Random Musings


OK, I never post stuff like this. But the social networks are all "a twitter" with "what's with the senior citizens" playing the Super Bowl. The crime is not that there were a couple of 60-year-olds up there and that Roger couldn't hit the high ones, it is that in the past year I have seen maybe five bands that rocked like that. And only two under the age of 40, Dead By Sunrise and Green Day on the Grammys had that kind of energy.

Rick, I've not heard of reliability issues with any BSS processors, but if you want to switch the 4800 is not a full substitute. The DBX processors are great for simple processing needs but do not have near the configurability of a true blue. I can…

I would have to say that all in all it was a good halftime show by The Who. When you consider the time restraints as far as getting the production on the field, up and running, then off again, couple…

Far East, far out...

In an all too familiar haze of weird timing, I am off to Japan for 10 days. Flying out during the Superbowl, where the Saints are doing battle, and then returning into the ashes of New Orleans, on ash wednesday, where even the airport is likely to be strewn with beads and battered empty beer cans. Me, I am missing it all... Off to Japan with Maceo, doing a show in Nagoya, and then a bunch of nights at the Blue Note, Toyko. I will be losing it in translation, I am sure...

Wither Midas?

I got the opportunity at NAMM for a one-on-one with John Oakley from Midas. He was very candid about how we got to where we are now and what he saw as the future for a legendary audio brand. The interview is about 5 mins and is on video...

Who Is This Guy

I can't remember when I signed into this site, although I keep every registration email I receive. Let it be enough to say I've been here awhile and am pleasantly surprised that this is an active network, which includes regular participation and discussion among its members. I also appreciate that Emails from the network appear in a digest form which is easy on the in-box.

I am currently in a relatively new position in which I need to balance the protections and obligations of both equanimity a… Continue
