Fly on Bob--I live a 1/2 mile from the old Pacific Recorders studio in San Mateo where Bob worked and where the Dead recorded Aoxomoxoa--and Doobie Brothers first album and many other were cut there. Abraxas from Santana also. If I recall, it was the first place in the area to get a 16 track, state of the art back in the day.  I think Bob and Betty both worked worked there as engineers.I was as foundational to them as anyone else. Now you are with Bear and Wally Heider together again.  Peace Bob.
