[Ipg-smz] So bummed

[Tom Henderson]

I lived in the SF Valley and OC during the late 70s, working for 
consumer audio electronics manufacturers. It's where I caught the 
home-brew computer bug.

I did sound mixes at Rats Studio in Cahuenga Pass..... and yes, designed 
disco installations when I wasn't working 12hr shifts at JBL. Thump thumpa.

This was after mixing Leonard Cohen one night in Toronto a few years 
before. He didn't like my mix. At the time, I didn't like his music. Now 
I can play a dozen of his songs.... if not very well. A wise person once 
told me not to quit my day gig.
