How Long Was It Before You Got to Touch Anything?

I was allowed to touch a tape machine, because that's essentially what I was training for. Most sessions were four-track when I first arrived. It was sometime later that I actually got to record with Paul McCartney. That was years later. But the experience of training under great engineers like Jeff Emerick and Peter Vince,. Peter Baum, Peter Mew, Ken Scott - who went on to be a very successful producer with David Bowie.
