Quick Trip to Nashville

Today Bill W. and I drove to Nashville to help Levi get home from college. This afternoon we visited an old friend of Bill's who is now running a studio on Music Row. Dan Mitchell was a gracious host and took time to show us through the studio introducing us to engineers, artists and producers along the way.

Our final introduction along the tour was to an older gentleman by the name of Bob Johnston. This salty old guy (74) produced some major albums through the years. These would include many of Bob Dylan's albums from 1965 through 72 or so. Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues and San Quentin live albums, two of Leonard Cohen's albums, The Byrds, Willie Nelson, Barbara Streisand, and Andy Williams to name a few. Once we got him started the stories flowed freely. If you would like to know more about Bob check out this interview online: http://mixonline.com/recording/interviews/audio_bob_johnston/

Here are a few pictures from our time there today.

This would be Bob Johnston who doesn't look too bad given his life experiences!
