Incredibly true to his character. Humbled by the emission of his true talent and to open criticism to become the best he could be as an inventor in a specifically influential time. Loved the interview and candor.
I once had the opportunity to work with Roger Nichols, the engineer who worked a LOT with Steely Dan, recording a lot of their records. He told me that both he and Roger Linn were taking the same microprocessor programming class, both with the idea of making a drum machine. As Nichols told me, 'one to make a lot of money (Linn's), while the other was meant to have the highest possible fidelity sound' (Nichol's). The major difference between the two of these drum machines was that Linn used EPROMs to store the digitized drum samples, while Nichol's machine, known as Wendell, used 16 hard drives with a common spindle between all of the drives... obviously costing a LOT more money to make.
Background music needs to be in the background WHEN it gets louder for effect it interferes with the purpose of the interview P S older people have poorer hearing
@@TheChurchStudio I was thinking about the music when watching another of the interviews. i agree with Sam Scott that it is distracting, not only for this one but quite a few. it's too loud also. I had to turn up my volume to hear Don Nix for one example. I wonder if music is really needed for these interviews. If so, how about a slower song of Leon's or another Tulsa musician, perhaps.
Very cool interview. Leon's influence was far and wide, and should never be forgotten.

This is so true. He was very humble and gracious! It was an honor for us to interview him!
So knowledgeable and an important inventor! He also has to be a good musician too, to have gone on tour with Leon!

Most excellent interview. Roger Linn literally changed popular music.
Nice to hear the maestro talk about how he got to where he is now thanks roger we love you
Leon Russell's MPC 60 is on eBay for sale as I write!
Thank You Mr. Linn! Please tell us how to fix the 01h & 06h errors on the MPC 60! THANKS!
Nice one very interesting.
Thank You

Great info but the background music is distracting and unnecessary.
Prince used the Linn drum extensively.

Music doesn’t fit interview. Distracting
Thank you for letting us know.
