"This book gives an insight into one of the most irrepressible, high-spirited people I know." - Quincy Jones"Don't ever bring your wife to the studio!" they said-advice Bruce Swedien, five-time Grammy-winner and legendary engineer behind Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Jennifer Lopez, and more, cheerfully ignored. His wife, Bea, became a beloved presence in the control room for decades. Part music memoir, part love story, My Life as a Studio Wife shares Bea's unforgettable journey-from a childhood in the jungles of India to the glittering red carpets of the Grammy Awards. Her life with Bruce was a dazzling blend of music, world travel, horses, Great Danes, big boats, family and friends. Packed with insider stories, laughter, and heart, the book also includes Bea's recipes for the Swedish meatballs and sugar cookies that stopped recording sessions in their tracks. Quincy said "So good they make you wanna hurt yourself!"
