Working Class Audio Session #128 with Frank Pappalardo!!!\n Frank Pappalardo started out a guitarist wanting the rock star dream. After hearing Van Halen's "Eruption" at a party \xa0he realized \xa0being a killer recording engineer was a more realistic plan \xa0than being a mediocre guitar player. From his early days at Chicago studio\xa0River North Recorders to his current 30 plus year gig\xa0at PBS' Soundstage, Frank has had an incredible career recording and mixing so many household names including\xa0Bon Jovi,\xa0Dave Matthews Band,\xa0Fall Out Boy,\xa0Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers,\xa0Sheryl Crow,\xa0Sonic Youth,\xa0Death Cab For Cutie\xa0and the list goes on and on. Frank talks with Matt via Facetime from\xa0Saint Charles, Illinois ( West of Chicago) in the post house where he does most of his mixing work about family, work ethic and his overall approach to audio. Enjoy!
