This past Monday, Steve had a visit from Michael Laskow, the CEO and Founder of Taxi.com. As a longtime Taxi member, that alone was a thrill - however it got even better when he discovered Michael's history as an audio engineer.
A little backstory from Steve: Neil Young recently released a new record, I'm a big fan so I checked it out.
It is called Oceanside Countryside, recorded in 1977. It was released a couple months ago for the first time ~ after 48 years! Check it out here: https://neilyoung.warnerrecords.com/en/oceanside-countryside-lp/093624834014.html
Shortly before meeting with Michael Laskow I was floored, to say the least, to discover Michael had engineered 5 of the songs back in 1976ish at Triad Studios in Ft. Lauderdale FL.!
WOAH! I couldn't believe it! LONG story short, we talked a LOT about this and audio engineering.
Here Michael is showing me old multi-tracks he had on his laptop of some iconic music (I can't post specific artists for privacy reasons)!
Anyway, this was so amazing I had to share.
Still sort of stunned.
It's kinda like that time I shook Eric Clapton's hand...I did it slowly, of course... but that's another story :-)
