My dear friend and business partner is ill [Philip Solomon - the legend]
"Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well." John W. Gardner:
STOP PRESS [Philip recovers]How thrilled I was to call my dear friend and wife to Philip Solomon, Dorothy, and hear her say: "Do you want to speak to Philip?"...Wow!
After a botched operation, in that, he had to have two further procedures, then MRSA .... then a different strain of MRSA and finally C Dif ... he has come through, conquered all and is at home, after six weeks in hospital.
He sounds quite weak and has shed a lot of bodyweight but we now have him back. This guy discovered so many Superstars [including my band] and guided the careers of so many mega music makers. With calls from all over the world and visits from many to the hospital. Frank Carson even visited a few times and had the place in an uproar. Even Brian Sewell, the acclaimed art critic called every day....amazing.
I will be calling on Philip to advise me on quite a monster deal for one of my band's albums. See.... even I need advice sometimes [grin!]
"It's a job that's never started

to finish. " John W. Gardner:
First Gold Disc ever awarded? [Guess which year?]
RCA Victor sprays gold over Glenn Miller's million-copy-seller Chattanooga Choo Choo, creating the first "gold record."The year, believe it or not, was 1942, with World War Two still raging and the Atomic Bomb still not invented. It was also the year that Bing Crosby released 'White Christmas' which, arguably the most successful single ever?
"Whoever I am, or whatever I am doing, some kind of excellence is within my reach." John W. Gardner:
Proof of the pudding? [ the vocal performance is little to do with the mic.?]
Hi Dec,
With regards to from my recent experience that you have got it spot on in placing the choice of mic towards the bottom of your list. The performance is absolutely where it's at!

"True happiness involves the full
use of one's power
and talents." John W. Gardner:
Dec,
Incidentally I used something straight out of your course notes to put this track together. When I first did it myself, it sound drab and boring... so I took a similar track from the charts and mapped it in pro-tools... kick for kick, snare for snare, hi-hat for hi hat, fill for fill, sample for sample, snare roll for snare roll, bass in, dropping out, for bass in, dropping out etc, etc.Then, when I sat back God knows how many hours later, I sudenly realised I had a record that almost sounded like something I'd hear on the radio... so thank you for that advice too.Will be in touch soon,Best wishes,Andy P

Subscriber's Section [ How to service a Microphone ]
"Hi Dec,
The actual original fault on my Rode mic. was that it kept cutting out intermittently - so I bought a new lead. There was also a whooshing noise.That made no difference, so I called Turnkey to see about getting it servced ages ago - but the company they referred me to quoted something like £100 just to look at it. For a mic that's probably not worth much more than that I then went into an indecision mode, thinking if I've got to spend £100 repairing an old mic, why don't I spend a bit extra and get a new one?I do also have an sm58 but have to boost the input volume so much on my DIGI002 rack unit, that it creates too much noise.As it happens, the Rode just worked fine all weekend but I don't want to rely on that.Who do you use to service your mics?Regards, A*****

The gags: ..... [ GIVING UP WINE ? ]
I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and
shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of pounds for some food.
I got out my purse and took a ten pound note out and asked, 'If I give you this money, will you buy wine with it instead of food?' 'No, I had to stop drinking years ago', the homeless woman told me.
'Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?' I asked. 'No, I don't waste time shopping,' the homeless woman said. 'I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive.'
'Will you spend this in a beauty salon instead of food?' I asked. 'Are you NUTS !' replied the homeless woman. ' I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!'
'Well,' I said, 'I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going to take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight.'
The homeless woman was shocked. 'Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting.'
I said, 'That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine.'
