Bringing back memories of the days our band headlined for Robin Trower, Tesla, Great White (Terry Ilouis), Faster P***ycat (yeah, the filter tried to shut me up on that one ), Pop Evil, and several others 10-15 years ago. I got out of the music scene altogether, still have most of my keyboard gear, but no desire to go back.

Kewl!
I have a lot of pics on my fb page.
I mixed monitors for Trower in 82, Tesla in 2001.. i started fading myself out of mixing monitors in 2010ish. Went through too much crap, biz changed with IEMs and digital mixing consoles started to become popular. The new grunge bands were a flat line mix, zero dynamics, everything the same level.. IATSE told me they’d choke me with money if I didn’t mix concerts and mix corporate. So I dumped the glory and went after the money. Boring as sin. 15 yrs of that and I don’t care who it is, I want no more. Retiring after 45 yrs, 4k concerts with legends, and not looking back. None of it means a damn thing to me now. Great resume, had a blast on stage with the big boys. Enough is enough. My ears are blown, tinnitus, tired of plastic people. Happy just having cocktails with locals (more normal people), do something different like inner sim stuff, maybe open a seafood restaurant. Who knows, anything but that stuff.
I like the jig-saw puzzle of making vids with AH films, even if I suck.
Would like to get into sim FX.
Maybe I’m a slow learner, but I’m mentally done with that stuff, let the young guys have fun and run with it.
I’m so burned out, I don’t even own a stereo.
