I've been scrounging around in my old movie collection and found this rather poor clip of an Explorer's hike. That's Mike Clayman at the beginning, Joe Koplin later walking out of the brush and finally Howie Uniman

Dick, I never met Jay but he was considered one of the top guys for a long time. If i remember he did Christopher Cross and Air Supply et al. Probably still works and making great music.

Howard - have a great time recording with Santana! My wife wants to know if you know an old music producer friend of hers - Jay Graydon. Does that name ring any bells for you?

Neil - I remember hearing Light My Fire for the first time when you brought it into The Room where put the blue floodlight. I think that song scared me the first time I heard it! And the WCP speaker...very M*A*S*H, don'tchya think?

"Big Camp Records" was a goofy name that I came up with when recording Don Rynd performing "Mr. Bojangles" at WCP. We pasted a paper label on the tape reel to look like a real record and called it "Big Camp Records", produced by Neil, engineered by Bob (Segan). The real camp records were on the "Alma Mater" label, also a phony, conjured up by that dorky guy that used to come up every summer with his tape recorder and microphones to do the camp album.

Regarding "The Doors", it was in the spring of '67 that "Light My Fire" became a rage, and I typically would bring up some personal records to air on WCP that were not otherwise available. That record was from my personal collection, and I still have that original vinyl, complete with scratches and stuff that engineers like Howie Benson would cause.

The loudspeaker thing was an idea that me, GER and Dick Rossner came up with in order to expand the listening audience in the morning. It worked, and became a staple of morning and afternoon broadcasting.

Great to hear from Marty, and please Howard, do us proud, Ray Manzarek will be listening.

Sign was from Scott Rovner which came by way of Jerry I believe. And Bill, the guy that that is me is the Jewish one! I think you can tell! Marty Scott, OMG! For all of you who don't know this Marty gave me a start in the business when he hired me to make a few records for him for the fledgling Paradox Records label which was distributed through Polygram. Marty had probably the biggest independent record business around, a true record man from the good old days of cut outs and imports and warehouses full of titles. GEM Records I recall - GEMarty. I think his first titles were on Big Camp Records and were our camp records we got in the winter. I owe Marty for hiring a very inexperienced producer and trusting him.

Strange wonderful day in the studio tomorrow - I am producing Santana's new album and we are doing a cover of Light My Fire with Chester (seen in that video) singing - its for Guitar Hero game. Their keyboard player cannot attend. I am going to play LMF with Santana, at Sunset Sound (where the Doors recorded the song originally) and will definitely flash back to WCP, spinning the song in '67 as Swerdlick's trusty engineer, watching the Elektra logo go around and around, looking out over the green fields of Camp with the song blaring from the loudspeaker during a hot and muggy rest period...Kerouac would say, we know time...

howard...did jerry send you that sign???i know we had a quite a few, of cabin and other signs at one time hanging in our parents garage.

Howard--studio? We don't need no stinkin studios (at least anymore). As for the Twizzlers, I'd I remember, they were the individually wrapped variety that came in a big round container

I'm pretty sure that I saw some Mac stuff in your studio. Way to go, Howie!
The canteen sign brings to mind that Lenny Busch used to buy a whole box of Twizzlers for his personal consumption. Little excentricites like that were the mark of a great PX staffer.

awesome... but which one is howard benson????

That is great, Howard! I'd like fifteen cents worth of red and green licorice Twizzlers!

Watch this video of me and the singer from Lincoln Park. At :46 seconds look at the sign above the door...Camp Paradox lives!
