And I want to come back to that because I think there's an important kind of lesson to learn about history in terms of music production to where it is.

I think it's super cool, but what it does is it opens up the creative channel to people that would never have an opportunity to produce music.

Okay.

Let's just a little bit of history about music production.

Because by the way, 30 or 40 years ago, I could never have produced music.

Now, it so happens I played an instrument when I was in elementary school and high school.

I played the saxophone.

I can read music.

I understand music theory because I played an instrument for 12 years.

When I was out of college, I would call myself a recreational drummer.

I mean, I could sit on a drum set and carry a 2-4 beat.

So I understand bass music theory.

But I've been a rock and roll guy forever.

Like, I love Bruce Springsteen, OK?

I saw my first Bruce Springsteen show in 1978, The Darkness on the Edge of Town Tour.

When he wrote that album, and by the way, the albums that came before had a bunch of them that came after, he sat in a studio or he sat at a piano or he sat with a guitar.

He wrote notes down on paper.

He wrote lyrics down on paper.

He played around with it.

Then he invited human beings into the studio with him that played piano, organ, drums, guitar, horns, saxophone, all different things.
