I was around when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain. I made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate. So if you meet me, have some courtesy, have some sympathy, and some taste. Use all your well-learned politesse, or Ill lay your soul to waste.

It is hard to think back to the actual thoughts I had before digital really came along.
Digital kind of crept into the picture.

I can recall these "magic" moments in digital.

1975 having the soon to be heard digital and PCM recording explained
1977 using a Harmonizer 910 regularly
1981 using a Lexicon 224 regularly
1982 owning a digital delay
1982 owning a CD player
1987 owning a grey market SONY DAT machine
1987 owning a SONY PCM 701 (still have it, too!)
1989 doing an actual tape edit on a Mitsubishi X-80 digital 2-track
1993 working on a WaveFrame 1000 (one of the first true DAWs)
