I was taken in by the bravado and the sounds of Mexico... not so much the music, but the spirit.

Instrumental music can spread the international language.

This was during a period when I was producing Brazil '66 records and got infected by Brazilian music.

If you look at a record under a microscope, the high frequencies are short jagged edges... and the low frequencies are long swinging ones are deep bass sounds. When it cut it at half speed, you're getting more of those on the record.

You know, the record business is much different than being artist on stage.

I'm an old-timer in the business from the sense that when you do something that you feel good about there might be another person out there who feels the same way, or a hundred or a couple million.
