4 PRODUCTION SOUND & VIDEO – Spring 2022 The Board of Directors and staff at your Local are ready and willing to fight for the needs of our members on all levels. We are here. We are ready to listen. We are ready to partner with you, our members, in this next movement. But we need to do it together. Solidarity will be key to the next round of negotiations and maintaining the enthusiasm that we saw in October. Over the next two years will be of paramount importance. Like all the other labor movements before them, the Starbucks workers have once again shown us that if we invest in our union and participate in the process, our outcomes will be better for it.

This magazine would not exist without the support of our members. Local 695 is a family and every member of that family has a unique voice to be heard. Any member wishing to contribute an article to our publication should feel free to reach out to our editors by emailing mag@ local695.com. We want to hear your stories, hear about the exciting projects you've worked on, and the challenges that you have overcome. In this edition, Tod A. Maitland takes a look at the history of musicals in his piece, "Musicals Aren't What They Used to Be," while Ric Teller continues his story in his article, "Ric Rambles." We'll also hear about Local 695 member Steve Evans, his battle with cancer, and what we can all do to help before I give my thoughts on the new 32-bit float audio recorders that are begin- ning to hit the market. We wish you all a productive year, full of laughter, new memories, and endless opportunities. In Solidarity, James Delhauer and Richard Lightstone CAS AMPS
