ProSound Studio
This is the studio of Bob Edwards, Bob has helped with this page since before it even existed. In 2003, he happened to call me asking if I had any old airchecks. It was our first conversation since 1984.

As synchronicity would have it, I had just finished copying all my airchecks to CD, using a series of borrowed reel to reel tape units. Before that, the recordings had not even been heard by anyone in at least two decades.

We got together and swapped recordings. As a result of that meeting, I concluded that there was more interest in old airchecks than I had thought. At first, this page just listed a few items available for trade. Later, I created a few mp3 files from the CD's. Now, nearly all of my original recording are on line. However, whenever someone sends me an old tape, I rely on Bob's studio to edit the recording and to convert it to digital form.

In a time long ago, in a place not far away, I worked for Bob at KBUK in Baytown.
