Geoff Emerick.

My wife Kathleen went to Coliseum Books Store
on Thursday evening March 30th while i was having
some lessons at my home studio.

She came back with her usual stack of books,
she never brings home less than five at the time,
and one book as a present for me.

She always brings home a Book as a present for me,
and this one is called"Not Necessarily Stoned, But Beautiful:
The Making of 'Are You Experienced'" by Sean Egan.

It`s about the making of Jimi Hendrix Legendary album
that changed the course of Guitar Playing for ever!

She was dissapointed i was not there with her because Geoff Emerick
was giving a reading from his book,
" Here, There and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Music of the
Beatles"

I remember his name from the second Robin Trower
album titled "Bridge of Sighs" which had made an enormous impression
on me,not only for the amazing music Robin created
on this one but for it`s Brilliant Sound!

That was about the time i had started being interested
not only in the musicians playing but for everyone else
involved in the making of a very Good Album
and especially the sound engineer!

Other records with that crystal-clear, crisp sound
to which my ears were drawn was " Abbey Road"
and, much earlier, "Revolver" by The Beatles.

The recording engineer on both albums is Geoff Emerick!
