You can take a little
history of backstage at the Hollywood Bowl tour on my Dad's page. He was the head sound man at the
Hollywood Bowl from 1970 to 1993. I spent those summers hanging around the Bowl as much as he would let me. They were great years, and I got to learn things like Jazz, Classical, and live audio mixing from a perspective that few ever see. Dad was a proud member of
IATSE Local 33, and died thirteen years ago today, 2000/3/3, at about 3:30 pm.
To continue the odd coincidences, one of our favorite musicians,
Robyn Hitchcock, was born 60 years ago today. He has a new album that comes out Tuesday,
Love from London---something to look forward to on a melancholy day, when we'll listen to some of Dad's favorites like Miles Davis, Art Pepper, and various other Jazz legends.
