In an effort to remember what I’ve read… here’s the first installment of an ongoing series chronicling the best of the deluge of printed media that crosses my desk daily.
Take a look at TapeOp. It’s free to those who deserve it. Not so much like me, as I don’t actually have a studio, but someday I’ll find enough space in my little life to get the home-recording setup back together the right way.
Anyway, great interview with Giorgio Gomelsky. Who? He’s the Russian-English Svengali fella who owned the Crawdaddy Club in the UK back in the day. The Rolling Stones were his house band. When they got big and took off he had to find a replacement. So he thought he’d give this little act The Yardbirds a try. Then he nurtured them through the line-up changes that replaced Clapton with Jeff Beck with Jimmy Page…
Rock ‘n Roll just wouldn’t be the same without him.
