Put up a simple backdrop with some tasteful set dressing and you won't fade into the wonky background. This is a visual medium after all. A chair against a blank wall doesn't cut it either. Some attention to simple lighting technique would also help. From my perspective these things typically look like they are emanating from each persons own idea of an intelectual cave/bunker. It visually distracts and clutters the discussion.lee davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248904089920572419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-58657403787263632532007-03-02T17:26:00.000-06:002007-03-02T17:26:00.000-06:00If we can go outside the realm of those who have b...If we can go outside the realm of those who have been there before, I think Alex Kazinsky of the 9th Circuit would be an outstanding choice.

What an aggregation of great musicians from that time.<BR/>I had never seen it before though I worked on the show and was there. I had forgotten that Badfinger was part of the band and that was the only time that I saw them . That show was put together so quickly it is amazing that they played together so well. I would have to give a lot of credit for that to the rock solid drumming of Jim Keltner and Ringo. Dylan, Harrison, and Leon Russel singing Just Like a Woman. Great stuff, great memories.lee davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248904089920572419noreply@blogger.com
