A Story Worth Watching: From Trace Elliot to Ashdown

We recently came across this video telling the story of Trace Elliot, and the journey that eventually led to Ashdown Engineering, and it's well worth a watch. It's important to say upfront: the narration is AI-generated, and not every detail will be 100% accurate. But what it captures really...

There’s a big fire in Simi Valley today. Houses have burned. People are evacuating.

There’s also a fire in the Cuyama Valley in Las Padres. It may take out a favorite campground I camped at several times when I was a Kid. And it’s only May.

Been noticing the one in Simi Valley. Is that close to George or you?

My first "new" job in more than 20 years, I'm almost nervous :woot:
I haven't even filled out an application, don't know what I'm getting paid, don't care.

Sounds like a great gig however it pans out. I worked in bike shops a couple of times in my life - the last time for Wheelsmiths (closed years ago) in Palo Alto CA, a very famous bike shop. Regardless of all the nuances - you will be in your element. I was on commission so never made much - but "employee discount" helped feed/afford my cycling obsession. And It was fun. If it's not fun - don't do it.

48:28 - a poignant response from Geddy related to playing with a guitar/drums/bass trio. Both bass player & guitarists are fluidly covering dual roles - I totally identify with that need to move between bass and rhythm player playing with only one guitarist. Key's are 'sort of' a lead/rhythm element, but done right create a fourth melodic element in the mix in a quartette. .



At 52:03 they talk about their producer inspiring them with his positive energy. We (The Sean Conneries, and Bond Girl too) are lucky to have that positive energy source recording us (engineer +) here in SF. I always look forward to hangin' with Robert to record. He makes the day go so smoothly!
