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.

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.
