Just Roll Tape 53 ('My FAV' The Hamlin Avenue Boyz)

Just Roll Tape

Sometimes an unusual question, asked on the fly at any time anywhere in your life can really throw you. A stop you in your tracks kinda thing. This has happened to the Boyz so many times over the years. Usually, while they are deep into a late night of recording conversation in the Homan Studio.

After a few sips of firewater and a puff or two of the magic dragon, you forget about the microphone that’s only a fist away. You don’t even see it anymore. It’s just a conversation between long-time friends. Then all of a sudden, there it is. A curve ball question nobody anticipated. In this case, the question that kicked it right out of the gate on this episode of the Hamlin Avenue Boyz Podcast is on track 1 and it was a simple one posed by Vince.

Do you have a child among your children who you would have to say is your FAV? No names. Just do you? How do you answer it? Can you answer it? Especially since the world will hear your answer. And oh by-the-way you’ve made the commitment from the very beginning to always “Just Roll Tape” and capture it all no matter what. And it’s at that very kind of moment that you’re glad you have a regular in-house studio recording consultant. In this case, our dear friend Jack Herer whom The Boyz have known for such a long, long, long time. Whenever a moment like that occurs, you’re glad Jack is around before the tape even rolls. He simply and consistently advises in his own special way to just relax, blow it out, and then fogetaboutit. Just let the tape roll. And that’s just what the Boyz always end up doing.

By-The-Way thanks to the many listeners of the Hamlin Avenue Boyz Podcast for pointing your ears in this direction now and then. And remember, you can send along your comments, questions, or topics for the Hamlin Avenue Boyz to ponder:
