Recording Wally Heider

I can remember my first visit to Heider’s LA. It was the early 70’s…watching Joe E. Covington laying down tracks for his Fat Fandango album in Studio 3. Peter Granet was at the board. As a young teen and an aspring drummer…it was a huge thrill to sit behind Joe’s drums and help them get their sound. My uncle was the production coordinator for Grunt Records at the time. That availed me to many visits to Heider’s LA and San Francisco.

The following are some excerpts from a rap session held in Terry Stark’s office. Terry is the president of Filmway/Heider Recording and started in the recording industry with Wally some eight years ago.
