This story was in our papers today - brought back memories. Hopefully the link works https://www.smh.com.au/culture/music/the...5bf93.html Ahhh.................the late seventies / early eighties. Back then i use to hang out with some "rock stars"..................well a pub band. I was a roadie for about 6 months. One of the guys I went to school with was a brain. His nickname was "Head" He was one of the code writers and designers at Fairlight. An amazing bit of kit. Head is in the clip at 10:52 on the RHS Finally the Fairlight is getting some well deserved recognition for the Austrlain invention it was. Head was a major contributor and my claim to fame is that I knew him (and still hang out with him) Herbie Hancock, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Stevie Wonder all used this bit of kit. My kids just dont get that music, if fact, everything, wasnt always digitised. Head went on to be the INXS Stage manager for the Kick Inside Tour I got to go to a quite few INXS gigs with Green Room back stage passes So glad I can remember this
