I just got back from a long trip down south and out east. It was inspiring . I saw Mike who used to do sound for DAG, in NYC. And Rich Nangle from DAG in Boston. Rich of course is a real raver, and feted me with nonstop audio and video recordings of us from back in the day.
I'm done with the day job for now, and my conclusion is I Must Rock! Do you know anyone with similar interests?
