You're impressive, man!

Thanks, Jeff. As with the exact details of Tom Jones' hand mic, I don't
really remember *everything*.

When I first graduated from sound as a hobby into the subsequent career,
I
thought that the more I knew about what I was doing, the better job I
could
do. I soaked up all things audio like a sponge. Much of it remains
intact. It carried me through many challenges and left me with some
good
stories.

However, along the way I saw that being filled with information was not
required. I watched many mechanics moving the faders and getting by OK.
They could not answer probing questions very well, but they stayed in
the
chair. I would not trade their approach for mine, I couldn't take the
fear
of being found out. I continue to think extensive knowledge is the most
important tool in the bag of tricks and recommend continuing curiosity
as
its catalyst.

I'm still waiting for the book. Roy, just do it!
