Everyone that loves music has a band or record that serves as the "cornerstone" of their musical taste. For me, that band was Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and the record was "Brain Salad Surgery". To me clearly the most forward thinking record of the seventies, hearing "Brain Salad Surgery" as a kid made me want to be an A&R guy at a major record company. The album artwork was also my introduction to the art of H.R.Giger, whose artwork I still cherish and collect today.Years after first hearing the album I got my wish, and was lucky enough to spend a bunch of years working as an A&R guy at various record companies.I was an A&R guy at MCA records for many years. Before that I was an A&R guy at Interscope Records. Before that I worked at Relativity Records. In 2003 I retired and moved my family to Marco Island, FL.Now I'm co-owner of a Real Estate Brokerage in South West Florida called IBR, and I'm very happy to go into BestBuy on Tuesdays to buy just the music I like !!Over the years I worked for and with so many incredibly talented people.
I'm so grateful for the many people that helped me along the way.
Mad props to all the artists I worked with and became friends with...It's enriched my life to be around you and learn from you ...Peace,
Hans
