On today's episode, Scott interviews his friend, Wayne Tarnowski. As a former senior recording engineer at CBS Records in NYC, and chief recording engineer at Caribou Ranch in Colorado, his engineering talents have graced albums by Chicago, Elton John, Weather Report, Billy Joel, The Beach Boys, Earth, Wind and Fire, REO Speedwagon, and Edgar Winter. In addition, he collaborated with legendary music producers, James William Guercio and Phil Ramone. Later, after his recording engineer career came to a close, Wayne chose to follow in his Dad’s footsteps as a master instrument technician, specializing in woodwind repairs, including the restoration of vintage brass and woodwind instruments. Scott is super grateful that three generations of the Tarnowski's have worked on his woodwind instruments for the past forty years. This multi-talented musician, recording engineer and instrument technician GOT CHOPS!
