He also mixed Filter’s “Hey Man, Nice Shot” off Short Bus.
This is very sad news. Bill Kennedy was on of the nicest people I met in my years in LA, in the industry or out, which is saying a lot. He also very generous with his studio / engineering knowledge, and offered a lot of helpful advice to industry and studio newbie. he was a real class act, and funny, and talented. And 47 is too goddamn young… RIP, Bill.
Bill was a wonderful friend- I can not believe he is gone. Does anyone know what happened?
