You Meet The Nicest People In…Or Thru…An ISDN Booth

April 28, 2010 by Rowell

When I went full-time freelance, it wasn’t long before the idea of having a mic booth equipped with ISDN began to appeal to me. Aside from the intial start up cost, it was a no-brainer. I’d already burned out an engine in my treasured Camaro just driving to and from busy studios an hour-and-a-half away. […]

i…love…quincy…jones.

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 […]

And I’m very grateful to have their attention and assistance. Lately, I’ve worked to better present myself as someone […]

sometimes ya just need a “clark kent” day.

I didn’t get anything done today. No, that’s not quite right. I didn’t get any “business” done today. That wasn’t the original plan, it just happened. And ya know what? It feels GREAT. The world didn’t end because I wasn’t glued to my computer console trying to catch up on one set of deadlines, work […]

if you love radio imagination, you owe this man a birthday card.

April 9, 2010 by Rowell

Norman Corwin celebrates his 100th birthday on May 3, 2010. And if you love imaginative language, the use of sound, provocative thought or cutting satire, you should be celebrating the man whether you’ve ever heard of him or not. Mr. Corwin is someone I “met” in recordings I discovered in college from his days at […]
