March 31st 2005 will be my last day as moderator of the Prosound Web Live Audio Board, or LAB as it is often refered. In the 10 plus years since I started the live-audio mailing list and later migrated that to the live-audio_Board I’ve been privileged to meet some very interesting people and I will be grateful for that. I’d like wish the best of luck to Mark Herman, Lucy Mendelsohn, Keith Clark and Julie Clark in their future endevors with PSW.
Most of all though, I’d like to thank all of the community members, lurkers and others that made it possible. As business people we can throw all sorts of money around but at the end of the day it’s the community that gives a forum value. Not only in the monetary sense but in the human sense as well. It’s been a kick in the pants gang, and I’m glad to have been a part of it but now I need to open myself to new challenges. I plan to kick around the Internet forums posting when I can and continuing to post on the blog at A Barking Dog. And of course, touring and doing gigs. I just won’t be the moderator of the PSW/LAB any longer.

Sorry to see you leave live-audio.com, but I understand.Though I didn’t participate actively, I lurked in the distance reading Brenkman (another old f*ck like myself)and others, and learned a lot about the live side of sound.(I spent 1961-1973 in the record and broadcast businesses). The thing that bothers me after 41 years in pro-audio is to see magazines pandering to the new wave of “audio engineers” that think that using a specific mic or eq is going to make the difference between a hit and a dud. My old boss Ahmet Ertegun (Atlantic records 1970-71), when told about quad sound, said “I’m interested in the performance, and hearing it in mono on a car radio speaker. Anything else doesn’t mean squat”. And so it goes…
