Steve Smith · 7th July 2002, 06:08 PM

In High School, I was way to shitty a giutar player, so I became bassist.. then I realized i sucked at that too, so i started running live sound.. first show i did, I was like WOW this is a blast!

Recording came later when A good buddy ( producer) of mine had me do some recording work for him ( a gig I was way not ready for, but hey learning in hyper speed is cool too....).. what sealed the deal actually was his son, Dylan, who is mentally handicapped. He wouldn't come when you said his name, and for intensive purposes there was no way to "reach" him 90% of the time. Watching him walk over to the stereo and put his hands on the speaker cones and stand there still for an hour totally into the music was one of the most intense experences of my life.
