Ed is a totally cool guy. I went to a meeting regarding a private studio install circa 1990 and he was there as well. I realized that I would be bidding against HIM, and knew it was over. He had a different idea and offered to design the install and have me do the wiring work with my crew so that we both got the gigs that we wanted. Great idea! He has a unique mixture of talent, experience, humor, and humility. He had quite the well-oiled machine going in the whole of the Power Station. Carl Feruggia and Tim Casey were the first techs I worked with and they both helped me from the beginning. As well, all of the SSL techs I have known over the past 20 years are great techs. Mike Ohura, Glen Coleman,Fran Manzella, Joe Finelli, Eddie Ciletti. . . dang, I am lucky to have worked with some great people in NY! Whenever I get to the end of my chosen troubleshooting mental flow-chart and have bupkiss of a fix, I think of what one of the aforementioned would ask me about the problem and what they would do. Invariably I identify the problem having channeled someone better than me! And not to omit our moderator! We overlapped a little at the M*A*S*H unit known as the Unique Recording shop. He had, and I hope still has, the best ascerbic sense of humor. He always had a killer crack ready: when I got back from a summer holiday in Russia Dave's comment was "mike is so hard-up he had to go to effin' Russia to get laid!" I still crack-up when I think of that line. Cheers dude! Mike |

Also, I learned a heck of a lot watching my old boss, Steve Addabbo. |
