Rog is a really strong engineer. I have sent stuff east and when he finishes it and sends it back west he has used plugins and effects that are like some kind of pixie dust or something. His reverbs are either better reverbs, or more likely, he knows how to use them better than I do, but my songs come back from him so big and alive that is can only be explained by his ability with effects. He sent this song to me for singing completely dry, and I did my vocal and the lyric tweaks I did and sent it back. When I heard the next phase it was after he did the backing vocals. I then suggested the guitar fills and the sax call and response part at the end, which he added (and might have added even without my mentioning them), and then sent me back this HUGE sounding mix.

He has one of my songs now, and soon I will have vocals added to another old song that we worked on some years ago. More on that later because it's a story unto itself.

I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
