Hey Greg,

Big admirer of your work and your posts here. I just watched the Hanson documentory, which I thought was a great insight into the circus that is the music business. Having put out 3 major label records on 3 different major labels I am well aware of what they went through - as well as having worked with Glen Ballard a lot myself. In fact I met you in my A&R person's office at Universal one time after having just been told that my record was dead. I may not have been in the most friendly mood...for that I apologise!!

I have two questions for you. I have just finished producing my first record for a band on Epic and am getting ready to start another that requires some horn work. I know you have used Jerry Hey before and wondered what the experience was like. Also, did he do the arranging for you or was he just playing?

Secondly, a total nerdy question. What console did you have before your Neve? I saw it in the Hanson video but couldn't see around Joe Chiccarelli's fingers....damn him!!

Cheers

Jonny
