Microphones, compressors, records. A recipe for the most amazing career ever! Russ Long explains why his job is a dream job.

“So did you do any engineering at all before you came to town?”

No, I didn't know, I mean, I didn't really know anything about it before. So I took classes at Belmont when I got to Belmont and I graduated from there. I mean I think, still, it seems this is a pretty amazing thing. I mean even still after doing it for almost 30 years... I mean, I feel like I'm tricking somebody in that this is for a living. I mean now I'm actually doing this and they're paying me, you know? I mean I feel like I've got the wool pulled over somebody's eyes and they are paying me to make music you know, which is just the most amazing career ever.
