For those who attended the CSI Miami scoring session:

"What's the 'D' for?"

And, "I don't write in the black keys. I'm a guitar player."

Exactly what I was going to say

"Bb?! White keys please"

That was my favorite moment or when he said, "Please, don't tell anyone how easy this is"

We were given permission to write crap - and a lot of it.

From David Trotter talking about unclear vocal takes at the Film & TV A&R panel :

Everyone was thinking it, and he said it.
