interesting. i have never, ever heard of any musicians of that era  
doing anything
but lining up to do work on the new machines. of course there were  
some who
were reluctant to change their work methodology, but most producers  
embraced
the new technologies with vigor. same thing with the electric guitar  
- no one was
put off by it being les' idea, guitarists bought them in droves and  
still are.
(and no fender vs paul rants here, just replace the names if you  
disagree.) ;-)
