Oh, and I used to write a magazine column
called Sound Advice for Country Connection Magazine, but After a couple of years it became too hard to do from the road, so I had to quit. These days Ive slowed down a bit, I only mix around 160 shows a year, and I own a Fishing Charter Boat in Kenosha, Wisconsin named Lookout Again. I try to spend as much time as I can up there in the summer.
