Cheers. Did you know that Alan Parsons was the sound engineer on "Dark Side of the Moon" ? You could also say that album is 'Parsonish'...

Nice, no I didn't know that. You can definitely hear the influences... not sure what came first the chicken or the parson?

I had the incredible fortune to sit down and chat with Alan Parsons. That is one down to earth, wickedly brilliant audio engineer. So many cool stories about "the good old days" in the studio.

Very cool. How did you get that opportunity? Did it have to do with your video work?

I wish - no, he came and lectured at a local university where a friend is a professor. I got the heads up that following the big lecture, there would be a more intimate setting with just Alan, some faculty and a few students. He just chatted us all up. He told stories, even took the time to listen to some of the students recordings and give them critiques. We asked questions, he gave thoughtful answers... it was really, really cool. I'm not even a huge Alan Parsons Project fan, but I am a big fan of the dude, and a lot of his studio work.
