[about working with
Jan Berry of
Jan & Dean] It was always Jan who came to the recording studio totally prepared. He was, for the most part, very business-like in the studio. He was very aware when one of us would be getting uptight, because we couldn't do something musically that fit what Jan had envisioned as the end product. And he would invariably find something humorous to say, or do, to lighten the moment. It always seemed to work.
