Six years later, I engineered what many consider to be the best sounding album of all time. In the 70s, I started my own band and we had a string of successful concept albums. Recently, I took over much of the singing duties when my partner and lead singer died. I'm still touring at age 70!

Mr. Vandalsir, what did I miss? I thought I aced this one, and maybe I'm just not seeing it, but I can't find where I messed up. Could you please recheck or let me know what I missed? Thanks.
