howdy all,

Herve thanks for putting on the briefs at least. Never cared much for those types of reviews but I got a kick out of the authors line "nudists have no dress sense". If you're not using your bike, how did you get to your car?

Thanks for the seat Matrix. I don't mind the hairy death tattooed trucker, as long as he doesn't take off his close!

Cool Ed you put Zappa on the Juke box. I can't remember when I last saw the record Rubin and the Jets in a carousel. Yeah Ed I think you would have heard of most of the artists. The recording industry in ny is largely global, as are other recording meccas like cali, nashville, florida, japan, europe, etc. The list is varied and I'm not one to boast, but to give you a taste I'll list a few that where special to me.
Samantha Fox, Kid Creole & The Coconuts, Doc Powell Band, Art Garfunkell, the jersey boys; Southside Johnny &
The Asbury Jukes, Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Stevn Van Zandt, Chaka Khan, Brandford Marsalis, Keith Sweat, Lou Reed, Whitney Houston, Teddy Riley, Teddy Pendergrass, Talking Heads, Dr. John, Ted Nudgent, Ramones.


Nothing for me to eat at the moment, but I heard you have some bass ale hidden away. If I could get a pint of that, thank you.

If I wanna be a popstar,
If I wanna participate without doing anything,
If I wanna find someone,
If I believe I'm not,
There is no popstar without music.

one bass ale coming up...

Did you hear that herve? Klink worked with Samantha!! Maybe he will have a juicy story or two to tell about her.

that is a very varied list of artists. you must be very good at what you did. so is your name on any album/cd covers? And what is Lou Reed like? another semi-obscure performer i have always loved!!

i almost got to meet nugent one night, but he quit letting people backstage right when i was the next one. pissed me off. but i spent the next while partying with his crew and they all said he was a jerk and i didn't miss anything

did you ever meet Bo Diddley? He's one of the nicest 'stars' i ever met.

hmm. herve's article makes me wonder if bill gates is a naturist?

Bin Laden you are a joker running away on a horse! Omar you are a joker running away on a motorbike!

smack, smack, ahh... The bass hits the spot. Thanks Ed you're a great bartender.

Herve how'd you get passed me at the juke box?

Herve will not be surprised Ed, I've had conversations with him about my Samantha session. Unfortunately his favorite tune was not one of the cuts I had worked on with her. Honestly I can't remember the one I did because it was more than 12 years ago. She was my first though. It was with a producer named Jelly Bean Benitez. I think in 89 or 90 I was a green assistant engineer at the time and remember being very nervous and timid for the session.
Instead of being described as very good at what I did, I rather say I was very lucky at being at the right place at the right time Ed. You would see my name on about 40% of my body of work. The industry is notorious for lack of proper credit. The blame falls squarely on the producers. Now a days it's a complete joke unless you are working for the mega-platinum stars.
Lou Reed - intense is a good general description that others that have worked with him have used. I was very intimidated by him the first couple of days in our session. After he acknowledged my presence in the control room the ice began to melt and we became almost friends. Enough that he would trust me with his music after I had accidentally erased part of a master take during basic tracking. You should have seen the look on my face when that happened.
Nuge-That was a quicky session with him. The artist was called The Don, a rapper. I can't remember the name of the song but Ted played gtr on it. Ted was booked to come in, do his shtick and split. And that's basically what went down. I set up a rental marshall and and les paul for him, he blew in, literally yanked the guitar off the stand, turned all the pots up on the amp to 10 and ripped one out. He had 1 listen through of the song and left. He wasn't very polite or characterized as a people person Ed. If you've seen him in interviews, especially if it's something to do about anti-gaming or hunting, something he's passionate about, he's very much like that in real life. He's true to himself. Well, what I can gather for the time he was there.
Bo- I haven't met him but would like to. We don't get much blues up north here.

Enough about me Ed. I'd be hard pressed for a question for you since you're so revealing on these boards. It feels like I know a lot about you. I do have one though, how do coconuts migrate to Europe? Is it by African or European swallows?

I was listening to the radio, nothing. Sabam is much sheaper than a mac, unless they give something for nothing. The graduate is a very good paper as the exam that I have passed at my work. I have seen one guy in the train with the newspaper from Sabam, and I haven't received it. RockPower is Maxwell magazine, and is in reality mine. Maxwell has given my uncle a flight. Now he has suicided him.
