Jack Douglas realized he had the best job in the world not when he received his first gold record, nor when he was handed his first platinum disc.
It wasn't even when he posed with his first multi-platinum award – and he has tons of those too. It was back in the late '60s, when, as a low-paid "general worker" at the Record Plant Studios in New York, he encountered rock royalty. "Jimi Hendrix offered me a joint in the studio," Douglas says with a laugh. "I thought, This is unbelievable! What a great job I have. Douglas quickly rose through the ranks to engineer, and it wasn't long till he was producing a glittering array of artists such as Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, Patti Smith and his hero, John Lennon.

I love this one at Streetlights and it gave me pause to think...What do you think of vinyl compared to digital music? Streetlights Records, one of a couple of places in town where you can buy vinyl records, has this great window display quoting Steve Jobs and his distaste for the sound of digital music. Jobs, like many audiophiles, including Neil Young, was a vinyl guy. To hear the full flavor and depth of music, he believed, the old way was best. Yet, he changed the music business and popularized a method of listening that is convenient, but not necessarily the best sounding. Have you ever done a blind test between vinyl and digital music?
I was lucky enough to do one at Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs and it was a sad awakening. The vinyl sounded three dimensional, warm, full, like music. Listening to vinyl was like walking through a forest, the music was all around me, like trees. Yup, a compromise. What do you think? IN PRAISE OF: Epiphone Casino. KCRW Presents: Diamond Rings.
