I was at school with Abe, and he was a standout even then. He was a powerful hitter too. A good, well-tuned kit with a good player player who knows how to hit 'em is the biggest part of a great drum sound, but we all knew that already. Another person there at the time was Carlos Paucar, who also was involved in the Shakira album as an engineer. Carlos used to play guitar in a Steve Vai/Frank Zappa band and really had the parts down. Fun times. Also in that circle of people at the time was an amazing bassist, Wes Wehmiller, who passed away a couple weeks ago. It's sad to lose such a talent so young. |

Great drummer, I read an interview where he mentioned some Shakira sessions, I assume those ones?, as being his most traumatic studio experience, or something to that effect due to the infamous lack of the artiste knowing what they were looking for... |

...Hearing the Shakira record my first thought was " The recording engineer must be a guitar player, the guitar sounds are brilliantly recorded with great love for fine nuances "... |

Well, I am indeed a guitar player...not that good, but at least I have a guitar! The players on this album were very good, and they, too were really into the nuances of the guitar tracks. Tim Pierce, for one, and a great player named Brian Ray, and also Tim Mitchell from Shaki's live band. Tim used to play with Bob Seger (he replaced Rick Vito when RV left.) Thanks, Terry |

Yeah, Mac's lineup is pretty tight. His shows are like seeing the Beatles, (minus Lennon's voc's of course) but now you have better guitar amps, beter sound system, better venues, better schedule, no screaming chicks, so do I dare say that his concerts nowdays are (gulp) probably better than what you might have heard at a Beatles concert of the sixties? I think so. |
