I like to work with people who have a sense of putting a song over, and can sing in tune, and with passion. With technology you can polish a turd, but there's still no button you can press for passion.
Today's recording techniques would have been regarded as science fiction forty years ago.
Fortunately I own a vintage brain, and I am alive and well in the 21st century, still making records, still working at an intense pace and most of all, still having fun doing it.
It is easily overlooked that what is now called vintage was once brand new.
