Visiting
with two of my best friends, Tom Flye and Jimmy Messina. After
the show, I spent a day with Tom and his wife Hillary, and filled her in on how
Tom got me started in the console business 20 years ago at Rick James'
home studio.. Jimmy just installed some Pelonis monitors and with
those and the Tonelux, I have to say, it sounded real nice... |
