Shows were very different then - even as the headliner we did a very short set by today's standards and sound systems were really primitive. But the girls made it all worthwhile!

The best music of any era lasts well, I think.

In any business, the more you learn, the more sympathetic you can be to other people's positions.

I have very much enjoyed being in the music business in different roles through five different decades.

In general when you fall in love with an artist and their music, the plan is a fairly simple one. .. get people to go and see them, and make a record that you think properly presents their music to the public and some of which you can get on the radio.
