Very sad to hear of the passing of William Orbit. I first discovered his work through Beth Orton’s Superpinkymandy, years before Ray of Light made him a household name. A truly original producer who proved electronic music could be adventurous, intimate and deeply emotional. Rest in peace, William.

I found these old ticket stubs recently and they reminded me why live music is still the future of the music industry. Neil Young at Wembley Arena. Buddy Guy and Junior Wells. The Rolling Stones. Miles Davis. Tower of Power. Albert King. Eric Clapton at the Royal Albert Hall.

R.I.P. Sonny Rollins. I first heard Sonny as a little kid in my Dad’s record collection. A Night at the Village Vanguard was fearless, alive and completely inspiring.

Very saddened to hear of the passing of Ike Willis. I was blessed to work with Ike at Sunset Sound with my dear friend Tony Franklin and the incredible Vinnie Colaiuta on a Shawn Clement track full of tempo changes, key changes and beautiful musical insanity.

Happy 80th Birthday Robert Fripp! King Crimson changed my life. Robert’s playing, musicality and writing fit perfectly with my brain. Frame by Frame actually calms me. Those interlocking patterns create order.

I write this through tears. Jack Douglas was my greatest mentor, one of my closest friends, and family to all of us. For three months Jack and I lived in Scituate making an Aerosmith album together.
