Quite Lodgical Circumstance.
Les & Todd have each made substantial leaps in exploring,expanding & humanizing
the technology of recording.
Both had fame & went out of critical favor while maintaining
inquizativeness,work ethic,& deep respect of those with open ears.
Two influincial individualists
to be sure
Lou and the trio are not "infamous" they are all excellent performers and consummate professionals. Perhaps you meant “renown”.
