QUOTES:   "Working with engineer Joe Laquidara at Oak Grove Recording was a calm and cool experience. Our song "Made for Killin" hit the top 5 on WAAF's Baystate Rock For September in 1996. Tracked back when Oak Grove had a16 track one inch tape machine, I can only imagine what it would sound like with the two inch tape machine they now have. Look Out!!!"   Bill Restuccia Jozlin Bones Publisher, SOUNDCHECK Magazine www.soundcheckmag.net     "Joe is one of Boston's best kept secrets. Seriously. It's hard to believe that type of talent and expertise is available for artists working without big label backing. If you're serious about your work, do yourself a favor and just book some session time - you've got nothing to lose and everything in the world to win."   Zoe Helene SoulFire     "I met Joe in April of 2000, when I first moved to Boston from Texas. He was highly recommended to me by a friend. I was in need of someone who could not only produce my album, but play several of the instruments for the songs I had written. When Joe told me he was that man� I must admit I was a little wary. I figured he was just in for a sale. But Joe proved me wrong; he WAS that man. He amazed me a he played the keyboard, guitar, bass and drum tracks to all my songs - and the production quality was top-of-the-line. I worked with Joe for the next year and a half, and left thoroughly satisfied with the level of achievement we reached. It was a lot of hard work, but Joe made it fun and I am very happy with the final outcome. I highly recommend Oak Grove. I have recommended it to all my friends in the music business and will always do so. Recording an album is a leap of faith - but at Oak Grove, you can be sure you will get the quality you expect."   Julie Felder Singer-Songwriter     "We've recorded with a few other studios but Oak Grove has made our band come alive. I highly recommend this studio to any local act looking for a great sound."   John Bourque Of the band "Ed Nasty"     "If you're looking for a phat sound, comfortable, yet professional room, and very capable engineers, you can't do better than Oak Grove Recording Studio."   Bill Love Myracle Records     "All I have had is rave reviews about the CD Oak Grove Recording produced for us. Joe really helped to capture the essence of Celebration! His suggestions helped to make us better as vocalists and musicians as well as producing a cookin' tape. We can't wait to have you do our next CD!   Tricia Celebration!     "Joe Laquidara is a multi-talented recording engineer, music arranger, instrumentalist, producer, writer and coach. His enthusiastic support and innovative approach in the production my �Enchantress� cassette and cd greatly inspired and encouraged me. When someone believes in you, it makes it easier to believe in yourself. Joe was able to translate my ideas and visions into instrumental and rhythmic tapestries through which my melodies and lyrics could explore spiritual territory yet unchartered. We were able to achieve some very unique sounds together. I consider Joe Laquidara a consummate professional and highly recommend his work."   Gypsy White Light Pentacles Sacred Spirit Productions     "Working with Joe was a dream come true. Being a solo artist accompanied only by my guitar, I didn't know what to expect the first time I first entered Oak Grove Studio. Joe was terrific! His help and expertise were immediate. I didn't want to lose the essence of my music in a recording studio. Through Joe's genuine genius I was able to flesh out each of my songs into full-fledged arrangements while staying true to my music. His sensitivity and musical expertise (not to mention his backup vocals!) are supremely professional. What I liked most about working with Joe is that he never tried to push me musically in any direction. He always listened to what I was trying to say with my music and then suggested ways that I might bring my vision to fruition. I recorded 12 songs at Oak Grove Studio, and I have every intention of continuing my relationship with Joe Laquidara and Oak Grove Studio for my next CD. I recommend Joe to anyone at any level. He works with beginning musicians and gold record recording artists with equal care and expertise."   John McVey Independent artist     "Joe's professionalism and expertise made our CD a valuable asset for promoting the band. We have received nothing but positive feedback and have increased bookings, thanks to the CD. We look forward to working with Joe again in the future."   Albert P. DiVenuti Jr. New Life Band     "Joe, the work you did on "The Thousand Yard Stare" is beyond anything I believed independent artists could have access to. You are an artist in the purest sense, agonizing over the smallest detail to realize the breadth of a song - giving life to what was once just a state of mind. Thank you for helping Twice Twenty realize our potential. Thank you for the good heart you have; it was a privilege to be in the company of a true master of their craft."   Ernie Beland Twice Twenty The Thousand Yard Stare
