I’m not going to blow smoke up your skirts about what a legend is Terry Manning. Manning is just a man like other men but one who has been at the right places at the right times often enough to have had legend grow around him. He is a musician, recording engineer, music producer and label owner all-in-one, and now adds photographer to the list, though that might have been there and I just missed it. He has worked with unknowns and superstars and businessmen of various character. What he has had and done is a simple matter of longevity. That’s not to say he isn’t a genius, of sorts (after all, he produced and played on one of my all-time favorite albums, Cargoe), but that he has lived long enough to make his past history in a real historical sense.
