Some familiar names and places in this one: How We Got Loud – Silverfish Audio
Nashvegas
Remember when the man sang “….it’s kinda like Nashville, with a tan”? I’ve had a few chances to move to Nashville. It never seemed like a good fit to me. Couldn’t walk down the street without stepping on an out of work sound guy or out of work musician. I’ve got a whole bunch of […]
