Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately, Leo unexpectly passed away in 1998 during a surgical procedure. Dan Alexander took over the building for a while but then he moved out, and it stood vacant for a long time. I'm don't know what's going on with it now, but I'm sure it's no longer a studio.
Leo was a totally unique personality with a long career in audio and I still see or hear his name most every day, in one context or another. Like you said, there are a lot of stories -- a lot. I should start a forum thread about him some time.
CRA was one of the first real, fully equipped recording schools in the U.S. (maybe THE first) and many students went on to become names in the industry.
Leo loved that Stephens, though of course only one person in the world could service it, John Stephens. John would stop by once or twice a year, we were always a little awed by him. I first met Hugh Allen at Golden State, other familiar names are Fred Catero, Scott Beach, Dave Gold (from Gold Star), Mike Bloomfield...but there are a hundred more.
