Paul there are a few people in this symposium that had a lot to do with the band in a direct manner.
Dan Healy- FOH Sound Engineer for most of the 70\'s,all of the 80\'s and into the 90\'s.  all those crazy effects on Bob\'s voice= Healy
Dennis McNally-Publicist that had direct access to each and every band member. Privy to stories no one else but band members are.
Bob Bralove- Actually a band member in a sense in the late 80\'s and 90\'s due to his heavy influence in midi exploration and actually provided midi sounds for Jerry to play.
Infrared Roses was his baby.

A good recent article letting us know what he is up to.

Pretty cool. He is also the FOH Sound Engineer for TLG as his schedule permits for Bay Area gigs. I have had some pretty neat conversations with him at a few TLG setbreaks.
