Here are a few things I have learned in my 35+ years of doing this…
- It’s the singer’s band. It doesn’t really matter if you own the PA, it’s the singer’s band.
- Sometimes you’re the pigeon, sometimes you’re the statue.
- In the studio, sometimes smaller is bigger.
- An engineer (or producer) will bring the same organizational skills to your session as they bring to their own life.
- At any given time there is a pimpled-faced thirteen year old who can play better than you.
- There is always a Yoko.
