Staff Spotlight: Randy Wentzel

Randy Wentzel

Who is Sonoma Wire Works? Sonoma staff are in the spotlight. First up...Randy Wentzel, Customer Service Director, was asked to reveal a little bit about himself:

"If I lock myself in my makeshift office/studio, I can crank out songs pretty easily. It's all done by trial and error and I often have to record the same part many times before I'm happy with it. That's the beauty of RiffWorks - it makes the process painless for goof-offs like me."

"Watching the Sun Go Down"
by Bill Young from Florida

This is a traditional blues song. Bill did a great job with the mix and recording. His story behind the song is really nice too:

"My missus, Joy, wrote the main lyrics and asked me to put something together in a Bossa Nova style - so I played some slow Blues instead...haha.

Lyrics wise, Joy says, "We have only been living in Florida since 9th October. I was sitting outside watching the sunset and it made me think of the time when our family were all living in Pennsylvania and we were used to seeing lovely old traditional houses with front porches and swings. Our present and previous situations then mingled and these lyrics came from that."

When asked about his gear, Bill said, "Everything is played on my brand spanking new Line 6 Variax 600 into a Toneport UX2 with Gearbox. The drums are Drummerheads Jason McGerr - Genevieve I. The only software I use is Riffworks, I don't have the time, knowhow or patience to mess about with all that other stuff..."
