We had gone over there to do some recording, pre-Aunt Bettys stuff, he was the engineer and I knew he was in Adam Again. Yeah, I just met him through Michael (Knott) and recording at the Green Room.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) What projects did you work with him on?<\/strong><br \/>\nAunt Betty\u2019s, The Lifesavers \u201cHuntington Beach\u201d and Knott\u2019s solo project \u201cRocket &amp; A Bomb\u201d. I remember working on \u201cRocket &amp; A Bomb\u201d Gene was laying down some piano, I was playing guitar, we were all there just recording. He was kind of quiet, really nice, he was a cool cat ya know, he could really play.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) How do you think Gene impacted the music scene?<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m not all that familiar with Adam Again\u2019s music, but I know he was a good player, so I know that whatever he did it was good. I remember going into the studio, Gene was playing piano\u2026 I don\u2019t think that was even his main instrument, but it was really good, I was impressed by him as a musician.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) Three words to describe Gene?<\/strong><br \/>\nQuiet, humble and talented. Ya know sometimes people just have that kind of spirit, he was mellow, just easy to hang out with. There was no pressure, he was just a musician, and he opened his house to us. We didn\u2019t always treat it with respect, we were messing it up, but he even let me stay there for a couple of weeks in one of the back bedrooms when I was between places and that was really cool, so he was generous as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) How did Gene influence you?<\/strong><br \/>\nYa know, you always like those people who come off humble, you like that kind of musician. They know they\u2019re good, but they\u2019re not trying to push it on anybody. I just remember that quiet spirit and a good musician.<\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1) How did you first meet Gene?
