When I was a kid, I thought "musician" only really referred to the people on records. Some of those musicians also wrote the songs, but as I sat there listening, I always listened to the band and what people were playing, and to me, that's who the term "musician" applied to. It's actually a detriment sometimes as I think of parts for sessions, because back then, the keyboard players I listened to on records played constantly. Everyone practically soloed the whole time and it was managed with fader moves. In the mean time the studio aesthetic has shifted to first-do-no-harm and stay the f out of the way of the singer--which I love, and completely get. But every once in a while I find myself doing some tinkly thing that I would have heard in the right headphone on a recording from my youth, like that cool Bob James stuff on the tail end of Paul Simon's Something So Right, or basically every clav or Wurly part on a funk recording, and it's entirely out of place in a 2023 arrangement, and I have to mea-culpa at the end of the run-through and say five hail mary's and promise to be a better person going forward. -
That's a 3-3 tie waiting to happen lol. It would appear Fields just sucks (passing at least). Last year he had the excuse of not enough supporting cast around him. That cast still isn't amazing, but it's much improved and enough that they should be doing more than they are. But yeah, they look like two of the most likely teams to be vying for that top draft pick, along with possibly the Panthers, Cards (despite the Cards' win today) and Giants. -
Beato does so many great interviews and reviews of music and musicians and a talent in his own right.

The Broncos face the Bears next week. It's a winnable game for both teams. Is it too early to start thinking about the top draft pick? Best, Geoff -

That was some "J I Case Move" that Wilkins put on Wilson (not to be confused by a "football move", whatever that is)! Rumor has it that the Coast Guard is currently searching for Payton swimming somewhere in the ocean between Miami and Cuba.

Thank you indeed, brother Mike. Consider me a convert. 😊 dB -

I agree. Somebody once asked me if I could do an entire live show using only one plug-in, and I cited M-Tron Pro... and that was version 2. mike -
Excellent work, Mike. I grab a Mellotron when I need one, but the plug is so comprehensive, its very much like a well-endowed synth. Sometimes the tweaks you can make blur the line between M-Tron and unique instruments from Klevgrand or Cherry Audio. Its safe to say its a major Key Buy winner, for old Keyboard readers. 🤓
