a quiet place to think about music

After he’d done a show in Nashville, James Brown asked me to engineer a session for him there. Well, there were no flights available, so I jumped in the car and drove all the way.

It took me five hours to get there, and as soon as I arrived at the studio James and the musicians were ready to record, so we cut four tracks and then, before I left, James told his manager, "Give Ron ten percent of that last song."

The song was "Sex Machine" so we wrote up the songwriter’s contract and I’ve been collecting on it ever since!
