    Randomly walking through Sydney city today and ran into Nuno in a hotel. Went in and asked if I could say hello. Got a photo and he wished me luck in my new career, what a guy! Met him a few times and the first in 93. Massive respect to a very humble guy!!

    What a great interview‼️ You know Rick, what he says about « a good producer sometime just get out of the way and let it be », well you just did the very same thing being a good interviewer, just let the light on the guest, get out of the way and … let it be. Another great interview. Thank you.

    It's wild how so many artists say the same thing about that creative moment of zen.. Things just flow as though from an outside source. I've experienced this myself and with band mates. It's one of the most rewarding things I've ever felt in my life.

      I know that these guitars are not traditionally constructed like the Big Two, but wow, the intonation is precision. Until he knocked a string flat!

  • @weakattheknees_

    I relate to this so much. Can’t remember the last time I did a demo, I just feel like it takes the fun out of the process and my main motivation for making music is enjoyment.
    I think that’s why some music doesn’t hit the same way nowadays, because it’s refined to within an inch of its life and sounds more like a product than a piece of art.

In the end, according to Leon, he got over it and said to George, what do you think of this take and George said that one's great, which take was that and Leon said, that was the first take. :)

    A 12 string resonating off ceramic tiles would be quite something. Hole Hearted is such a great song, music, lyrics, performance. All their lyrics are clever.
    Leo Kottke often remarked how intractable a 12 string was. Nuno shows no signs of its intractability. He's amazing playing that beast!

    It’s so unfortunate how record companies financially drained these Musical Artist of ownership and royalties to their own songs.
    Nowadays these kids and their technology music streaming capabilities and social platforms and self promotional music videos cut the middle man aka: record companies right out.
    So now they make their own fortune producing themselves forthright. Good for them. 🎼💰
