to the womb.
“I was in the recording studio from the
time I was a baby,” said Bar be, both of
whose parents were professional musicians
in Atlanta. “I really can’t remember not
knowing what a recording studio was or not
knowing how you’re supposed to act in a
recording studio.”
Bar be started recording his own bands by
the time he was 11, and when he moved to
Athens in 1981 he found himself at the cen
ter of the musical mecca that produced the
biggest bands to ever come out of Athens.
After his own band, Mercyland, parted
ways in the mid-'Bos, Bar be got an offer to
do an internship in a recording studio with
John Keane, another legendary Athens pro
ducer.
U I felt like this is what I’m supposed to do,
( this is where I feel totally at home, the
‘ recording studio,” Barbe said. “Tb me it was
the same thing as putting on a pair of com
fortable shoes.”
After interning for Keane and attending a
recording workshop in Ohio, a “crash course
in signal flow,” as Barbe described it, he
started recording indie bands in studios
around Athens, utilizing Keane’s studio as a
home base.
Barbe's innate feel for music and experi
ence as a musician gave him an edge from
the start.
“It’s a real advantage to have music in
your blood, so to speak, because you speak
the language,” Barbe said.
After working in numerous studios he
estimates around 50 in his early career,
Barbe built Chase Park Transduction
Studios with Andy LeMaster and Andy
Baker in 1997.
“Most people, the way they get into
recording is they build a studio,” Barbe said.
“Tb me it was like, ‘I think I’m going to work
at this for a while and learn how the system
works and then build a studio.’”
Chase Park Transductions, which Barbe
still co-owns with LeMaster, has since
become one of Athens’s top studios, in which
the likes of R.E.M., Widespread Panic, Chris
Martin, Drive-by Truckers and Queens Of
The Stone Age have made recordings.
Tom Lewis, Barbe’s associate director for
the Music Business Program, also had a sto
ried producing history pre-dating many
University students’ births.
He started playing music in high school
and first dipped into the waters of produc
tion in college at Florida State University.
“Somebody would ask the question, ‘Well
we wanna make a recording, how are we
gonna do that?’ And my answer was, ‘l’ll fig
ure it out,’” Lewis said.
In 1986, Lewis made his first “legitimized”
recording of a band that would leave a defi
nite mark on music history: Sonic Youth.
His live recording, which he asked the
band if he could make while they were tour
ing through Florida, was distributed by New
Music Express in the UK
From there, Lewis says, he was hooked.
Lewis moved to Athens in 1990 and began
working as front of house manager for then
prominent Athens country music artist John
Berry.
“It was pretty quick moving up here that I

▲ David Barbe (left) and Tom Lewis took over Terry College’s Music Business
program this year, bringing decades of industry experience to the program.
didn’t have any interest in doing anything
but making records," Lewis said.
Lewis began working as producer in
Athens and throughout the Southeast, work
ing in the studio and doing live recordings.
“A couple of times those first big festival
live things was a little hairy,” Lewis said.
“You Just look at everybody and smile and
say, ‘I know what I’m doing, everything’s
gonna be fine,’ and at the end of the day you
know something more about what you’re
doing and everything is fine.”
His career has brought him together with
a variety of acts in a variety of scenarios,
including the Allman Brothers Band, The
Whigs, Love Tractor and the Vigilantes of
Love.
His method to recording: “In and out of
studios, as many different places as we need
to go to get done what needs to be done,”
Lewis said.
With a combined 50-plus years of experi
ence between them, the main challenge of
taking over at the Music Business Program
was technicalities and scheduling.
“The trick was figuring out ‘Can I do this
and still do that?’” Barbe said, referring to
his new responsibilities at the University and
his professional recording career. “Because I
have to do that. It’s who I am, it’s what I
do.”
But Barbe said his continuing profession
al career will help him teach.
“Fortunately for me, Terry College realized
that my value to the program was greatly
enhanced by the fact that I’m a working pro
fessional, not that I’m somebody that did
something a long time ago,” Barbe said.
Although balancing his two careers is a
challenge, Lewis said the positive elements
of this new venture are t wofold.
“I like to look at it as an opportunity,
whereas I clearly can’t do as much work as I
might, so my positive outlook on that is that
I can say ‘no’ more often. When it is the
bread and butter, that’s a hard thing to say,
you can’t turn anything down,” Lewis said.
“Now ail I have to do is leam how to do that,
I just haven’t learned that yet.
“I’m learning, this is hit the ground run
ning. You’re coming from one world into the
academic world, and it’s like bang, go. Fill
out all this paperwork, here it all is, go get
an ID and a parking sticker,” he said. “We’re

still figuring it out.”
The feeling from the students, Lewis said,
was uncertain at first, but has improved
since he and Barbe classes started.
“Initially it was their gaining the confi
dence that everything was OK, and I think a
lot of them feel that not only i# it OK but it’s
moving in a good direction and it’s a lot bet
ter, so suddenly there’s enthusiasm again,”
Lewis said.
Barbe is instructing two classes this
semester, and following the advice of the
leaving administrators, is refining the pro
gram bit by bit. Lewis’s current focus is tech
nical dealings with the University and help
ing students assess their credit standing.
Barbe and Lewis are helping students
organize a set of concerts at local non-profit
Nugi’s Space for which the students will
advertise, book bands, manage money and
produce the sound. They will also host guest
speakers from the industry, as has
been standard in the department.
“Nugi’s is also a great proving ground lab
oratory for the students because it’s a man
ageable size, and if you run a show at Nugi’s
you can do the whole thing and you can be
wildly successful or you can slip on a banana
peel and blow it without somebody else’s
business taking the hit for it,” Barbe said.
Events like this, says Lewis, help prepare
students for the changing industry.
“The record industry has fallen apart and
you can look at that in one of two ways,”
Lewis said. “It’s either an enormous loss or
an enormous opportunity, and people who
look at it as the opportunity are the people
who are gonna be doing it, and being a part
of that is kind of a huge deal.”
Barbe said he agrees and is excited for his
students presented with that opportunity.
'"“For the young, energetic and free-think
ing, your imagination is the limit. It’s terrify
ing for the people at the top of major corpo
rations, but it should be exciting even if
uncertain for everybody else,” he said.
As they continue settling in, Barbe and
Lewis agree that whatever minor headaches
they have to suffer, the interest and ability of
their students is constantly reassuring.
“The best thing about it is the students,"
Barbe said. “They’re bright and are challeng
ing they’ve got a lot of ideas. It’s exciting,
yeah, I love it.”

Golfers
grab third
in PING
tournament
By RYAN BLACK
Thb Red & Black
The Georgia men’s golf
team went Into the PING
Golfweek Preview on Sunday
as the third-ranked team in
the country.
That ranking ended up
matching the team’s finish in
the three-round tournament,
which was held from Sunday
to Tuesday at the Karsten
Creek Golf Club in Stillwater,
Okla.
Oklahoma State play
ing on their home course and
boasting the title of top
ranked team in the country
won the tournament at
14-over par 878, besting the
second-place UCLA by four
strokes and Georgia by five
strokes.
Senior Hudson Swafford
led the way for the Bulldogs,
finishing the tournament at
even-par 216, good enough
for second place individually
behind UCLA's Pontus
Widegren, who finished at
2-under.
Following Swafford were
fellow seniors Russell Henley
(5-over) and Harris English
(7-over), who came home in
10th and 16th places, respec
tively.
The Bulldogs completed
Sunday’s round in fourth
place overall, but moved into
second Monday, putting
themselves one stroke behind
the leaders from Oklahoma
State. To do so, Georgia’s
squad chopped 11 shots off
what had been a 12-stroke
deficit entering the second
round.
Although Georgia came
up short this time around,
they can nevertheless take
solace in one thing they
had the opportunity to get a
feel for the host course of
next June’s 2011 NCAA
Championships.
As for the present, the
team’s performance left head
coach Chris Haack optimistic
about the remainder of the
season.
“I am proud of the way the
guys played this week,”
Haack told Georgia Sports
Communications. “We put
ourselves in contention after
the second round, and I was
happy about that. We made a
good push, and this is some
thing we can build on. This
tournament is very competi
tive and this experience is
one that will help us the rest
of the season.”
