I haven't actually watched this episode yet, but I found this show a week ago or so and I've watched every episode up until this one (I found it via a link on the kvraudio.com forums to show #50 btw) and I just wanted to say (again, I posted a comment on some previous show) this is great stuff!

Hello Dave, My name is Jerry. I played guitar on a song you mixed by Kevon Edmonds called 24/7. You tracked the session as well. Now, I am producing and mixing for a living. Your show is the greatest thing. I have always had tremendous respect for you. This is awesome. I have followed you for years and I am learning so much from each show. I watch every week. Thanks Again!
