Technology (Narration)
Wow, now that's an ending, I made it and all the chords sound
like they should go there, nothing to punch in and fix
I was thinking about how we've all been jaded a bit
by the technological advances that now are part of the
process of writing songs and making recordings
To start with, you don't have to go to a studio to make recordings
anymore you can do it at home or in a hotel room on the road
Right now I'm on tour and recording these notes,
ironically enough in a rented waterfront
condo in Perdito Key, Florida 3 miles East of the
Florabama bar
The rally point of my misspent youth
The gear I'm using is a long way from the Garrick Production Sound
It fits into a small carry on suitcase, I use a studio these days
more for rehearsals than recordings and so it goes
I guess the main reason I have loved listening
to these old tracks is that they have really
come from another time and place
Like any treasure worth its salt should do
The cool thing to me about listening now, in the age where
you can cut and paste, tune and loop, sample, copy and quantise
is how simple and fun these tracks sound
Your first studio experience is
simply a wonderful discovery experience
for a would be singer
I was a nightclub entertainer and a product of Bourbon Street bars
Making records was something real stars did, real stars played
on the radio and millions of people heard their songs

We were club players, copying the hits that were popular at the time
I'd never set foot in a studio up until the time I set foot inside
Product Sound Studios
I did have a Sony reel to reel machine that my
Uncle Bill had brought me back from Japan
That we played around with recording our rehearsals
and some of our shows in New Orleans but that was it
So although it was a small studio in a small town, known more for
Mardi Gras than music
Product Sound was still a studio
Hell they even recorded on new tape
in boxes sealed in plastic wrappers
that had never been opened
Luckily in years up the road the
studio got bigger and better but I never
have forgotten that first time I
stood in front of a studio mic and put
headphones on mhy ears and in my mind I was on the way
to becoming a recording artist
And I did not care how long and how hard I would have to work to turn
that dream into reality, from the moment I stepped in that booth
I was fully committed to trying for the brass ring
on the merry-go-round I had chosen to ride for life
Here is another song from the Mobile
sessions, I can't be your hero today
