The Importance of Sound…and The Voice

June 15, 2010 by Rowell

I’ve always been fascinated with sound…especially the human voice. Never realized how really important that was until I saw this video today. It’s a little 8 month old boy, born deaf, who was successfully given “ear implants” that allow him to hear his mother’s voice for the first time. Despite the fact that he has been able to […]

You know the old gripe, “No good deed goes unpunished”? How refreshing it is to discover that isn’t always the case!

I’d already burned out an engine in my treasured Camaro just driving to and from busy studios an hour-and-a-half away. […]

The man is my musical hero. He can do anything (though I haven’t heard him tackle country or classical…maybe it’s out there too). I started noticing the name attached to TV show themes I’d hear growing up (“wow, who did that?”). There were more revelations on his LPs at that time which pointed to what […]
