Look Who Crashed the Studio!

Artimus Pyle and CJ

Hey! It's Artimus Pyle, former drummer with Lynyrd Skynyrd. Artimus was in town to promote his brand new solo album, Artimus Venomus. He had just played a well received show at the Mercy Lounge the night before he and his crew stopped by the studio to say hello to a frequent Vibe 56 producer, Elisha Hoffman.

By pure chance, I had listened to a radio interview with Artimus the previous evening. He survived the infamous Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash back in 1977. Clearly, Artimus has had some amazing experiences, but appeared to be well grounded and a positive guy.

I took a group photo of everyone that dropped by the studio that day. I took several photos, and noticed that our intern, David Wilson, was struggling with his photogenic abilities.

You Can't Handle the Intern

David Wilson
Vibe 56 Studio Intern

Actually, handling the intern is negotiable.

David Wilson has joined us here at the studio as a full time intern for the summer. David was actually present the night the studio celebrated opening its doors for business. If I recall it correctly, he actually helped me carry a keg across the parking lot. Good times!

David has been a tremendous help to the studio and our clients. He's been around music for most of his life and played keyboards and clarinet in a band the first time I met him. It's a good thing to keep in mind in case you need the odd clarinet overdub.

Mr. Wilson, along with our house engineer, Scott Velazco, have become a one-two punch in our mission of recording excellence. Essentially, that means the studio is overstocked on positive vibe and Diet Coke.
