Life's but a walking shadow a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more it is a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury signifying nothing.
Even in the beginning when we knew there was a legal argument about how much our song sounds like his song as one songwriter to another I wasn't sure that Cat Stevens would take that as bad.
I was 17 and just learning what high fidelity was what good sound was and learning the mechanics of tape machines. It was a real education going right from the consumer end to the record factory.
I sat staring staring staring - half lost learning a new language or rather the same language in a different dialect. So still were the big woods where I sat sound might not yet have been born.
Acting is not about dressing up. Acting is about stripping bare. The whole essence of learning lines is to forget them so you can make them sound like you thought of them that instant.
And one thing I definitely enjoyed personally from a selfish point of view was exploration and going to places that I had never been to before and learning you know meeting the people and getting to know new sights and sounds etc.
I have witnessed how education opens doors and I know that when sound instruction takes place students experience the joys of new-found knowledge and the ability to excel.
Darrell is really good in the studio. I mean he has a real working knowledge of how the process works and what sounds good coming back over tape and how the stuff works together.
I had a vision how it should sound and I put all my knowledge into this product and it is a fantastic product. People still tell me that I have the best musical thing there.
Useless knowledge can be made directly contributory to a force of sound and disinterested public opinion.
