Re: [ARSCLIST] Not using headphones

[Angie Dickinson Mickle <angie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I do have a recording of about an hour of one class.  I'll have to 
listen to it again, but I doubt there is much there.  I always felt he 
was careful not to teach us too much.  No mic technique, nothing about 
the equipment we were sitting next to in the studio or how anything 
worked.

If you are looking for antidotes of sessions he was involved with, there 
were very few of those also.  I do remember one about recording the Hour 
with Ramsey Lewis Trio album. The producer wanted to place a baffle 
between Ramsey and his piano as they always had done.  Malcolm talked 
him out of it.  What a great call.  I love the "singing" Ramsey does on 
that album.  Malcolm was also very proud of the fact that there truly is 
an hour of music on that LP.

The only other story I remember is how he kicked a man in the chest to 
get the guys heart going again after the guy was electrocuted.
