Dead Presidents Talk

Good news while I was running the rapids in my kayak.

Those wonderful Capital Records echo chambers have been saved.

You got to love it! Second Street, the developers, have agreed to a number of efforts to preserve these works of art.

According to a statement released by the EMI music group: "The agreement will protect the acoustic integrity and operations of the Capitol Records Studios and ensure it continues as one of the world's premiere recording facilities, as it has for more than 50 years." Plus, this old Robert, heard the developers will pay $100,000 to promote the studio within the recording community. As usual it's the dead presidents that do the talking.

Sign Petition, Save Endangered Echo Chambers!

They're finally listening to old Robert J. out there.

Here's a link to a petition to save the Capital Records echo chambers.

For any of you who haven't read my earlier ramblings. These echo chambers are an important part of our civilization's musical culture. So, please sign up to help these defenseless rooms designed by the late great Les Paul. I know they're not as cute as seals, but they your need help.

Les Paul, Thank You, from the Inventor of Rock and Roll

I got to admit this Kayak is trickier than I pictured. But don't you worry, this Robert can swim.

I just learned a very important fact about those endangered Capital Records echo chambers. These magnificent sound rooms were designed by Les Paul.

This is as close to a shrine as you get in the grimy record world of L.A. It deserves national monument status, not 93 condos.

Save The Echo Chambers

It just snowed, maybe my last snow day, but don't worry about this Robert, I just got a kayak.

Before I go hit the slopes, I must agree with an RIAA company for the first time this year. I think EMI should save the echo chambers in the Capital Tower. These echo chambers are unique, and they would be a loss to the world of music if their character changed.
