BOWMAN
SOUND—A kind of a nice
feller for a cowpoke to know, John Bowman
not only lassoed us into his studio, but
his PA wrangling has cut trouble off at the
pass for us on a Gig From Sonic Hell or two,
and we’re much obliged. He is so good
he makes us sound better than we actually
are! He has been doing live sound and recording
since he was a teenager, from reel-to-reel
to digital. He is a few days older than Mylos,
which the Trailboss finds somehow comforting.
