I think that it's pretty cool that Maddy is there for the mixing.
Agreed, but it does make sense to have him there if JP is there.
Every time I have met JP, Maddy was somewhere close by. I think he is actually surgically attached to John by a 30 ft. invisible cable.
Reminds me of Frank Zappa's bodyguard, always nearby.
Wouldn't be surprised if Maddy was also JP's bodyguard, being he's a big guy. Not that he probably needs one.
Am I the only one that (until now, having just researched) thought Maddy and Neal Morse's tour drummer were the same person?
I guess they do look
kinda similar.

Yea, they do.
Of course, it seems Collin (Neal's tour drummer), sports a goatee now, so I guess we can more easily tell them apart.
During the Transatlantic tour documentary on The Whirld Tour DVD, Collin was there, and I remember thinking, "oh, JP's guitar tech is out on tour with TA. Cool!"
