The first studio I ever recorded in was Maddock, still a teen, on a trip with a band I was in from our home town (Dryden, Ont.) I always thought Dave was a great guy, and I was completely amazed be the whole 'recording studio' experience. Our band recorded nine songs there, but I came up on my own and recorded one I had written, and I remember Dave being not to keen on a chord change coming out of a particular section. Musically, it didn't make sense, but it was too late at the recording stage to re-write it and at that age, I couldn't have anyway.
But I'll always remember that (I DID ask Dave for his opinion, he gave me a straight up honest answer) ... I'm recorded my own solo project in my own studio now, for the first time ever, that song is going on it, and about 3 months ago, a 'corrected' and much better transition in the song (called Kathy's Song) has now been written. It probably never would have, if Dave didn't mention what he did almost 40 years ago, And I can really feel a pat on the back from Dave now. Just a little something I'll never forget, I thought I'd share... He will be missed by many I am sure.
My most sincere and deepest condolences to the family.
