Too bad Quad B was turned into offices by a bunch of suits. If you liked Sound Emporium, you would have absolutely loved old Quad, probably enough to do most of your future recording there. The NashVegan suits have no idea of what they've actually got here.

I've certainly seen people stumble into success and then shoot themselves in the foot due to insecurity. I'm somewhat of an example of that.

Those rooms were designed to make it easy for musicians to hear each other and for really clean bleed. Sound reflected off the wall was tested and adjusted for flat response. Motown's Hitsville studio in Detroit was designed by RCA to have that character. The old RCA studio A here in Nashville is al...

Voter suppression happened because Democrats failed to control state government on a massive scale. That is where John's point comes in. It's not about flipping Mango S. Mussolini's ardent followers but simply attracting more people in the middle.

Re: Hired guns

A great producer is also agile and collaborates with the performers. The results can often vastly exceed the producer's original concept. I think too much contemporary popular music is over-thunk compared to the past. Happy accidents make music vibrant.

A-Men. What's scary is how well it's working and that the Kochs, who created the Russian oil industry, are behind most of it along with America's hardcore anti-communism stance and today's pro-Russian fascism position. Mango "Sh!thole" Mussolini s just their latest version of Reagan.

Re: What happened to...

A lethal shot from a handgun smaller than a 45 is not going to stop somebody from shooting before they can empty their gun. The whole idea of a gun offering "protection" is a Hollywood fantasy unless somebody approaches your house shooting and you have time to go get a shotgun or rifle.
