Montserrat AIR

[drummike]

I was just thinking about Hurricane Hugo and its impact on AIR studio Montserrat. I think I read an old article a while back where George Martin said the piano at AIR was ruined by the hurricane. Of course, pretty much everything was ruined by Hugo. Then I just happened to remember the supporting piano track on Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, among others. Probably the same piano Jools Holland played in his interview video with the boys? Makes me sad to think that particular piano is no longer around.

save your tears - as that piano was not on Montserrat, but at Le Studio in Morin Heights, Canada
although this studio is out of business since 2008, but somebody probably still uses the instrument

Okay, good to know. Thanks for clearing that up.

Le Studio update:

Sad to hear it was vandalized this past August. A kickstarter campaign was trying to bring it back to its former glory.

Someone should buy Le Studio and set up a museum for Rush, etc.
