Allan KozinnHOST
You know, you're probably most famous for James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt, but you have your list of things that you produced is so extensive and includes, you know, David Sanborn and 10,000 Maniacs and Cher and Morrissey.
Allan KozinnHOST
How do you, as a producer, how do you approach that kind of diversity? Do you sort of bring expectations of your own based on what they had done in the past to each new project? Of
Peter AsherGUEST

Mike NixonGUEST
Exactly.
JohnHOST
And then one other name, and this is, uh, [laughs] Tom is gonna laugh when I bring this name up, but, uh, this is not a band member, but is certainly a sax player that was not known as a, quote, "session guy" in the ilk of Michael Brecker, David Sanborn, or, um, Ernie Watts, but obviously iconic in this genre that we're talking about.

Our road manager was a cool guy called Leo Rossi, and he said, Michael Ruff just gave his notice.
Hilary MillerHOST
Anyway, she mentored under that guy and then she went on to design tons of other beloved album covers, many in a similar style.
