_{As I continued to delve deeper, I found it interesting that Taylor and The Beatles also did do some minor collaborating.}

_{Taylor auditioned for Paul McCartney and George Harrison. He performed “Something in the way she moves”, which influenced George Harrison’s Beatles classic “Something” from Abbey Road. "Paul McCartney played bass and back-up vocals on Taylor’s biggest hit on the album, “Carolina In My Mind.” "(Goutman, 2021).}

_{I hadn't previously considered Dylan as an influence however, I can now hear some resemblance to Taylor's music with Dylan's poetic style.}

_{During an interview with Record Collector in 2008, Taylor talks about Dylan being a "real revelation" with the effect that Dylan and his guitar playing had on on him. (Taysom, 2023).}

_{Dylan's influence on Taylor extended even further. According to my research, in 1966, after dealing with mental health issues, Taylor made the move to the music scene of New York to follow in Dylan's footsteps. "Without Dylan creating the pathway for Taylor to follow, he may have never moved to New York and gambled upon himself carving out a career in the music industry".(Taysom, 2023). Through further research, I come to learn that in the 1960’s, Greenwich Village in New York City was bursting with music. In reference to Dylan, the author of Music + Revolution: Greenwich Village in the 1960s,  Richard Barone explains in an interview, “The venues, the audiences, the infrastructure of cafés, shops, the Folklore Center, the folk music fans – everything was in place, built by those who preceded his (Dylan’s) arrival” (Barone R, 2022)}

_{It was at Armstrong Studios where Rose met Savage and from my perspective, most likely Rose learned most of his audio engineering skills from Savage.}

_{In a recent video interview with Rose, he is quoted saying that he would watch Savage at work and that Savage, “taught me everything technical”. He also shares that he became Savage’s assistant and at times would step in and run sessions when Savage had other commitments. (Younane S, 2024).}

_{Further research of the Audio Engineering Society Melbourne, (2103) it seems that not only did Armstrong Studios attract world-class talent, like Savage, but also invested in the latest technology, which would have given Rose a great training ground in sound engineering.}

_{Through the video interview with Rose, he describes Tudor as “outstanding in my life”. He talked about Tudor being full of life, effervescent and positive. Rose’s appreciation for Tudor was captured when Rose said ”I thank him (Tudor) for every positive bone in my body” (Younane S, 2024).}

_{Tudor’s outgoing personality seemed to also have an impact on others as highlighted by Brian Cadd’s post after Tudor’s passing “Ron was never the boss. He was the leader of the pack. He was the loudest, the funniest and maybe the naughtiest”. (Eliezer C, 2020).}

_{I am personally inspired by this approach as I like the idea of being able to assemble the artists and capture the full sound as a starting point, where possible. O'Donnell goes on to say, “Whoever you’re working with, a good record starts with great basic tracks. To achieve this I prefer recording as many musicians as you can all at once, even as I also enjoy overdubbing vocals and additional parts as a way to enhance or add to the song, (Tingen, 2015).}

_{In a recent interview with Armstrong, Ian Peel, co-founder of ARCA (Australian Road Crew Association) was quoted as saying, “Crews and roadies regard Bill as an absolute legend, a truly unsung hero of the music industry. We’re all aware how Bill pioneered recording music in Australia from the 1940s, whether it be live or studio and against all odds, and we tend to put him up on a pedestal.” (Phillips, 2024).}

_{In a personal video interview with Rose, I was able to determine that Armstrong gave Rose his first job in audio at Armstrong Studios. This came from Rose being persistent in following up Armstrong for an opportunity for work. (Younane, 2024).  This was also evident in the Armstrong interview where I learned that Rose was an Armstrong find and that Rose had rung Armstrong every two days for a year to wrangle a job at Armstrong Studios. (Phillips, 2024). Ern describes Armstrong as helpful, encouraging and also having the ability to find people. (Younane, 2024). It seems to me that Armstrong had the ability to identify and attract talent, which Rose had benefited from. This has been supported in the recent interview with Armstrong where record producer and audio engineer Mark Opitz states, “Bill provided many opportunities. He had faith in people and their capabilities, he put a lot of trust in people who ended up talented and did great work, and remained very loyal to him.” (Phillips, 2024).}
