Yes, but this probably has something to do with all those people calling
themselves "engineers"


And to do with employers who mis-label jobs.

At the last place I worked the coffee simulator was re-filled and had
its dripping bits wiped by a contracted female. She announced that
she was going to apply for an "engineer"'s job so could mend them.

Where can I get a job as a Coffee Simulator!!!!!!!

You need to be a contracted female, although in my experience, such

employees are often greatly expanded females. (;-)

Well, I work as a coffee assimilator. Is that close enough?

You've missed the point. Genome wants a Contracted Female to wipe his
Dripping Bits.

Lotsa people, apparently. Australia graduates about 1000 recording
engineers a year, in a country where there are maybe 30 jobs a year.
Go figure what will happen if you tell them to "shove it".

Yus..... Might have something to do with Kylie Minogue and Olivia Newton
John.

Slurpppppp

How time has passed !

I did a gig once at Borehamwood's Civic Hall where I met a 16 yo Sonja
Christina ( Curved Air ). I met her later when she was about 30 - she'd
visibly aged ( but was still v. attractive ) ! Rock 'n Roll can do that to
you.

I hate to mention something but..... You would have been 14 years older as
well. Look at yourself in the mirror.

True - but even now I have few lines on my face.

Know exactly what you mean by a "coffee simulator", we have those
here to encourage folk to go pay for the real stuff instead.

Back in the late '70s Tommy came down to our studio a couple of times to
work on ABB albums while I was head of production. The man was a unique
combination of composer/arranger/engineer with an extraudinary mind for
business. He was not as proficient with our "new fangled" digital equipment
as our house engineers but he knew what he wanted and how to get it. A
truly amazing person.

Are we not lucky here?

An aside, but on the subject of simple "recording engineers" who do so
much more, everybody here should watch the documentary "Tom Dowd and
the Language of Music".

Tom Dowd's first recording was "If I knew you were coming I'd have
baked a cake" in 1949 and he went onward and ever so upward from there,
getting more and more into the music and producing than being a
recording engineer, while still having huge technical achievements.
His life before 1949 is interesting too

I'm not in Australia, and I had my fill of maintaining the equipment
running a board for morons who have no concept of a good session.
Anyone who is too important to speak with people they have to work with
isn't worth wasting my time on.
