The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Photo taken at a CAPS committee meeting at Mark Ulano's house in Highland Park, Los Angeles, in 1989. L-R: Me; the late, great Dan Reed (the one from Monrovia, not the one from Victorville. Dan was working on a Leeds & Catlin discography when he died in 2001); 'Bashful' Bob Bresnick; unk.; Mark Ulano (Mark won an Academy Award for the sound for 'Titanic'); Dick Messick (Mike McKelvey's friend); and Mike 'The Cylinder Doctor' Khanchalian. Apparently, we had pizza that night, which I vaguely remember.

Thanks for sharing! Neat to see some faces I remember, but never had the chance to meet, from back then!

WOW!!!! John, you kind of look a lot like Phil Collins...... . Are you sure "John" is just not your stage name?????..... . Don't worry, your secret is safe with me... .

I can't believe you said that lol! Phil Collins is one of my least favorite contemporary musicians! Lol! Why couldn't you have said "Richard Thompson"?

Yes, I can see the Richard Thompson similarity also. Maybe Phil Collins is your stage name..... . Phil has a home not too far from us. I'm sure one of many .

On the old 'Victrola board', I was accused of looking like Stonewall Jackson (the general, not the singer)! I might look a little tiny bit like Richard Thompson if I was about 100lbs lighter!
