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.

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

Sometimes people's careers take off on their first albums, sometimes they don't.

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.

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!
