This is great stuff! For some reason I wasn't able to find the Theo
Parrish lecture earlier on that site either.
But wow, this is so cool. And funny too. That second part is pure first
class stand up comedy. I don't entirely agree with his standpoints on
vinyl vs downloads, but Theo sure is some speaker. He should do this
more often.
Once again, inispiring stuff. And I'm so jealous of those RBMA
contestants....

"Following lunch, it was then time for the Theo Parrish lecture. This
was something I had been looking forward to for a while. Once things
got underway, Theo took control. He started off by playing Stevie
Wonder's 'As' and talking about how Lil' Louis played the track at a
club in Chicago when Theo was 15 or 16 and how it blew his mind
because he was used to just thinking of that track as something he
sang with his mom. Theo was full of stories from his days in Chicago
and Detroit and every track he would play seemed to put it in a new
light for me. I think the lecture went on for over 3 hours. Theo was
opening up about everything, from talking about going to college for
art, to DJing and production work. It was definitely something special
to hear Theo today.
