Who Owns Whose Words
When you post something on this blog, you retain the right to use your words elsewhere.
I get to use your words elsewhere, too: in a newsletter, book, 3-D hologram, major motion
picture, etc. I'm not saying I will, but it's possible.
But you don't get to take the stuff I write here – even if it's in response to something you
wrote – and use it elsewhere.
Just so you know.
Thanks,
Dan O'Day

Ah yes, remembering the 2 track tape.
Ah yes, remembering the 2 track tape.
I miss multitrack production on tape! But I’m still a digital maniac.
Someplace, I still have an editing block and a yellow grease pencil…
It was all good, until that fateful day working for the cheapskates at Cumulus in Nashville, when the "brand new digital workstation" broke!*(@^!@%&$
Imagine the amazed looks from the "kids" as production director Tony Jackson and I were able to make commercials/promos on those funny looking machines with the big pancakes on the front…."What's the razor blade and skinny tape for Mr. West?" GOOD TIMES!!!!!"
