Joseph de Culver City,

Hi! From me, originally from a stones throw from Culver...up over the hill, near the big 'L'

Two that come to mind..I mixed sound for Barry McGuire, in Santa Fe,N.M.,in the late eighties. By that time he had stopped his drinking, and he was just great, and spiritually hot! He introduced 'Eve of Destruction' as the first 'protest' song of the sixties..and it was still true to tat day! He personally sought me out, after the show, and thanked me for the best mixing he had performing live!

Also, there are some works from Judy Collins, album, 'Fires of Eden'..one in particular is called 'The Blizzard', and in my opinion, the best Judy ever wrote, and performed. It took her three years to write it!..All those who live in Colorado, should definitely hear it!! I vote it become the state song! Truly, her masterpiece!!

Met and knew a few more, but I thought those may be of interest!
