Reminiscence #2

[OutrageProductions]

It was a hot, muggy day in the summer of '97 when (now SIR) Rod Stewart flew into MSP on the Warner Brothers G5, sent the family off to do a little shopping at the MOA, and grabbed a limo to come over to the studios for a writing session with the principals. I met him at the door as he was wearing a straw hat, polo shirt, Bermuda shorts, open toed sandals, and carrying a 'brolly' (like it might rain or something?).

Introductions and warm handshakes all around, and then I gave him a brief tour of the facility on the way to Studio Bodacious to meet with Jam & Lewis. Really a genuinely nice gentleman.

As I walked out of the room and back to my duties, my only thought was: "jeez... that guy probably spends more on pedicures than I make in a year".

A true Brit, he.

What album or songs did you work on for Rod?

To the best of my knowledge, nothing ever came out of the meeting. They were just bouncing ideas around.

Jagger & Richards came through for two days once, same thing... no output from our end. But that's another story.

But at least I got to meet 'em all.
