A real thrill today - meeting Michael Brook.

Michael is originally from Dundas Ontario. I had the chance to meet him years ago but declined because Brian Eno was going to be at the dinner and I was too nervous to contemplate having a meal with Brian Eno. Boy do I regret declining that invite.

Anyway, it turns out that Michael Brook and I have a few friends in common but he's been living in London and, more recently, L.A., where he's in huge demand as a producer and composer.

If you don't know him, he's a frequent collaborator of Eno's, the producer of Mary Margaret O'Hara's still-extraordinary "Miss America", the inventor of U2's Infinite Guitar and the composer of the soundtrack to Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth", among other things.

I was interviewing him today and had a chance to show him the guitar. He was really impressed by it and was a lovely guy as well.
