A highlight:
"The 3 most important things he's learned as a producer and studio owner are:
- Be open-minded. That's huge.
- Be humble. Don't impose your personality upon the production, don't make yourself a part of what the artist is doing.
- Serve other artists and make connections. Help other people's careers."

Crosstalk With Mark “Mooka” Rennick Excerpt

Tom Menrath came to Prairie Sun in 1980. He was introduced to me by Allen Sudduth (https://www.facebook.com/allen.sudduth) Tom was a local fella, and a serious fan of music. He backed and produced Mark Ford of the famous Ford Brothers from Mendocino County. Analog, 24-track. Outstanding recording by Allen Sudduth.

Tom later went through many tenures; Monster Cable, Guitar Center Pro Audio, Vintage King, and left us kicking butt at ASG. With many twists and turns, I was happy to say I was with him through all of it.

I am deeply saddened that we have lost one of the most giving, kind, and intelligent people that I knew in the music industry. I send my deepest condolences to his wonderful wife.And all of us - who knew and worked with Tom - should be aware that he would insist that "WE BUCK UP AND KEEP A STIFF UPPER LIP!"
God bless you, Tom Menrath.

But We Had Music: Nick Cave Reads an Animated Poem about Black Holes, Eternity, and How to Bear Our Lives How, knowing that even the universe is dying, do we bear our lives? Most readily, through friendship, through connection, through co-creating the world we want to live in for the brief time we have…

Everyone wants to be happy
But if you practice gratitude,
Happiness takes care of itself
