This is very cool! Even the Trumps will understand how the vaccine works. Except Eric. https://t.co/JdBR0B579z

@sunsetsound Played a lot of ping pong and basketball in that courtyard!! The courtyard was a central place you could get some peaceful "outside" time or listen to the bells from the church across the street.

@sunsetsound Oh, there are some stories!!!

[Peggy Blum @MepleonardBlum]

@SlenderSherbet Mom never stops eating!

@GregRenoff @sunsetsound He just did! Thank you.

[Peggy Blum @MepleonardBlum]

@GregRenoff @sunsetsound Will you please tell Donn to contact me next time you talk?
Dweezil gave him my email but I haven't heard from him yet.

Remember the guy on police academy that did all the sound effects?? That was MICHAEL WINSLOW.

Check him out killing it with Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” on Norwegian TV.

It’ll WIPE YOU OUT!!

@detroitdowdy @sunsetsound then mixed*

[Peggy Blum @MepleonardBlum]

@detroitdowdy @sunsetsound There was a huge difference. VH was a band with a producer and engineer. We tracked, overdubbed, than mixed. That was the standard.
For Prince it was just the two of us. We would usually start and finish a song in one day. Sometimes two days.

[Peggy Blum @MepleonardBlum]

@PaulAndrewWolff @sunsetsound You figured it out!!!

[Peggy Blum @MepleonardBlum]

@HeebNewHamp @sunsetsound Sorry, I really didn't realize people were asking questions!!

[Peggy Blum @MepleonardBlum]

@MsVioletAura @sunsetsound @PrinceNewsRIP I think it's more accepted now than when I was engineering.
I think the more knowledge you have the more comfortable you'll be. There were no recording schools, so I learned on the job.

[Peggy Blum @MepleonardBlum]

@CarloSantin_ @sunsetsound Eddie!! And how new and excited they were to be in the studio.

[Peggy Blum @MepleonardBlum]

@CooperMichaelB @sunsetsound He was a sweetheart!! He was extremely talented and didn't have an "attitude". And he was very handsome!!

[Peggy Blum @MepleonardBlum]

@getpatrick @sunsetsound It wasn't until Purple Rain that I suggested he record himself in the control room. After that is was only when he didn't want to stop and I needed a break. I'm pretty sure VH used headphones.

[Peggy Blum @MepleonardBlum]

@biffybeans @sunsetsound He wanted me to find him string players to overdub on the Purple Rain title track. It was midnight and he wanted me to get them that night. I found two to come down at 1am!!

[Peggy Blum @MepleonardBlum]

@eagles20yo @sunsetsound I never was a part of those conversation. I really can't comment.

[Peggy Blum @MepleonardBlum]

@BrettModglin @sunsetsound My favorite was 1999. It was just the two of us. He wasn't really big then. By the time we were recording Purple Rain he was very successful and our relationship changed. Then there were more people and bodyguards.

[Peggy Blum @MepleonardBlum]

@AvenueA68 @sunsetsound It was hard to be accepted at first. There were very few women at that time. In the beginning there was some resistance to it. It got better and I got tougher and more knowledgable.

[Peggy Blum @MepleonardBlum]

@PRN4EVR @sunsetsound @prince There was not formula for Prince's recording. It was usually drums then bass. But sometimes he'd come in and start playing piano and we'd go from there. There were many memorable times with Prince. My birthday song for one.
Also the session of "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore".
