Back in 2003 we spent the weekend at Robert’s ho Back in 2003 we spent the weekend at Robert’s house recording a few songs with Nick Blagona. We didn't release the tracks, but the sessions were memorable. Nick was quite the story teller, and interesting character. The impact he had on many Canadian artists ran deep. From Billboard Magazine: TORONTO — Producer and master studio engineer Nick Blagona, a.k.a. "The Tone Guru," whose credits include multiple Deep Purple and Ian Gillan albums, as well as recordings by Rainbow, The Bee Gees and Canadian acts April Wine and Alexisonfire, died Jan. 4 at St. Joseph's Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario.
