I’ve been a bit quiet since the fires in LA. We are fine, we didn’t have to evacuate, but being in Santa Monica we were watching it very closely. We were on the verge on evacuating several times.
I know quite a few people that were affected by the fires, and it’s been a strange time with everything else going on in the world.
This week was the NAMM show, and I’ve gone every year for many years now. I used to hate the chaos of the show floor, but long ago I discovered the extensive schedule of talks, so now I make a point to go every day of the show and see as many of the talks as I can.
It was really great to see everyone moving forward as best they can, and to be uplifted by all the great talks. I personally went to hear people talk about everything from creative songwriting to AI innovations to studio branding that aligns with your personality and archetypes.
My heart goes out to all those affected in the fires, and my gratitude goes out to the industry en mass at the NAMM show that is moving forward in spite of the challenges in the world.
