Super Bowl ... "by the grace of Prince"
Two of my worlds collided at this year's Super Bowl half time show: my love for a good 'ole fashioned extravaganza and in my opinion, the greatest musician of all time .... no, I'm definitely not talking about Justin Timberlake in the latter statement: I'm referring to his dedication to the genius that was Prince.

I asked him some questions to provide some much needed guidance on how to decide on which microphone you need, how much you should be spending and how to approach it all.
