"... an engineer who really does have 'golden ears', a comedian, a psychologist, a producer and a good buddy. If I have to go into battle, I want him by my side." - ERIK ZOBLER (2x Grammy winning Engineer)
“Don’t go short... go Long!...and high, like his standards! Long has the high standards and expectations of himself that set him apart from the rest of the pack. As a friend of mine for many years, I’ve watched him grow to become an amazing talent. With his passion for music, tasty basslines, big ears and solid musical ideas, when Long shows up, he brings it all!†- NATHAN EAST (Fourplay, E. Clapton, Phil Collins)
“I’ve known Long for many years now, enjoyed chatting with him, and have admired his business acumen, his artistry, feel and soul as well as his evident talents. For his career in producing and engineering I know he’ll be a front runner ...he’s excellent in his craft as a musician, and as a bass player, he’s got it, along with the ear for the natural sounds to mix with and produce great recordings - it starts from the bass up as witness John Clayton, Will Lee, Ron Carter, Simpsons composer Alf Clausen, and other biggies in the business.†- CAROL KAYE (Legendary Session Bassist)
“...a truly gifted musician and great guy.†- GEORGE BIONDO (Steppenwolf)
“Long was a joy to work with on our ‘Cures What Ail’s Ya’ CD - always positive, always working hard. His strong engineering skills, attention to detail, and excellent preparation, including supplying custom power cords and mic cables, kept our recording sessions running smoothly and gave us the quality we were looking for.†- LAURIE MORVAN (Laurie Morvan Band)
