Renaissance

We who were fortunate to be developing our careers in the 80s and 90s benefited enormously from the explosion of opportunities to record with digital technology. A secret passion for analogue still lingers however ! I am constantly grateful, though, for having been able to record so much of my favourite music with so many of my favourite musicians. And, by and large, we had a lot of fun dong it. I hope this is discernible.
