I remember when you were trying to get it off the ground, and had big ideas, dreams that have now come true! We went together to interview your hero Chris Christian at his sound stage/museum in Dallas. I also had to find many used record stores for you, and we spent hours driving there and looking at millions of nostalgic discs. (You found some collector's items). It was great fun for me! The last few times I have been in Japan, you were there to meet me and spend time, and I appreciate that. You published interviews and wrote the liner notes on my CD's. Fantastic. Those are great memories, my friend, and I hope we can continue them very soon. 'Til then, Eric Tagg ★Message from 沼澤 尚 好きな人にはたまらない「サウンド」というのが、いつの世にも、どんな場所にもあると思います。 そんな趣味の世界を「好きだから」という理由だけで盛り上げようとしている貴重な人達がこの日本にはいました。こんな人達が全世界にいたりすると、あのいい時代にいたいいミュージシャン、ア ーチスト、ソングライター、プロデューサー、アレンジャーがまた競いあって、「 あのA.O.R.」の時代が戻って来てくれるのではないかと信じています。 やっぱりレベルが上がっていくという事が大事ですね。 この「オーレ・クール・サウンド」がその台風の目になってくれる事を心から願っています。 沼澤　尚
