Rosen had engineered over 14 albums, the last two overlappingly. This caused missing Woodstock for which he had complimentary passes. He was paid for his work with checks not backed by capital which ended his engineering career until 1975. MAP City Records filed for bankrupsty shortly thereafter.

Rosen moved to Los Angeles and got a job with Newjack Sound recorders doing spot sound for television programs and commercial voice over engineering.

Eleven years after his Map City Records experience, his life came full circle. After many jobs as a cab driver, photographer, musician, computer tech and designer, he landed a job in 1979 wiring up the recording studio at 54 E. Sound Recorders: a 40 track facility run by the WcWhorter bothers. He installed one of the first audio consoles with computer automation and became the 2nd and maintenance engineer in the studio; built with money from Crystal Gale's recording of Put a Little Love in Your Heart, produced with Sam McWhorter.

After working at $3.75 an hour just to be back in the recording industry for a year, Rosen's passion for helping the underdog along with his knoweldge of technology and the Internet lured him into becoming an entraprenur to launch his idea for a clubhouse for creative people to share and market their art, and offer the general public inspirational edutainment. A web site ( [Creativity Cafe] ) describes the project and the many successes along the way in the birthing process.
