Seeing as how you live in Ojai and are in the industry, do you know Bruce Botnick? Just curious.
Follow Ups:
Yes but I don't know him well.
He showed up at Dave Mason's house one afternoon during the days (years) I was working with Dave on what became his "26 Letters, 12 Notes" album.
Later I did a small amount of tech work at Bruce's mastering studio in town.
Later yet, he was part of a group of folks putting on a summer series of live shows at the Libby Bowl in Ojai and weeks before the first show I helped out with putting a PA system together to be used for those shows.
Jim Exon and Barney Barnhart were pooling their gear and I made custom cable runs specific to the venue for ease of use. The system was tested twice, in place and tweaked prior to the first show.
I ended up mixing monitors for the first show but that was never my intent. Jim and Barney, at first, wanted me to be the "go to guy" for the summer but I only signed on to help get the gear together and then bow out.
In the end, as often happens, one thing lead to another and I mixed monitors for the whole show.
Bruce actually owes me a match book.
At one point I had mentioned how much I liked his work on "Dan Hicks, Striking it Rich" and he proceeded to tell me the story of how the label had match books made to look like the cover of that album (which looks like the cover of a match book) and that he still had a whole box of them.
He offered me one but I never did receive it.
Based on the short amount of total time I spent with Bruce he seems like a nice guy.
He certainly is a very talented guy.
