Did anyone else catch the program about him on PBS this week? Besides
the obvious interest to guitarists and other music lovers, the audio
content was highly interesting as well, as he basically invented "sound
on sound" recording and was innovative on other recording issues.

Saw it and loved it...particularly the old Ampexs spinning their magic.
Yep, he was a seminal force in the audio field. My dad was in the business
1948-55, and I remember him bringing home and raving to us and then demoing
on our showcase home system the original 10" LP that he and Mary Ford cut.
Can't remember the name..just the sound. Played, BTW, over the largest JBL
corner horn then in existence, via a 25wpc Newcomb pre-power amp
combination, from a Garrard 88 with one of the first GE variable reluctance
cartridges. Somehow that sound entered my genes and has stayed with me ever
since.
