who would instruct us while we were in the booth. If we did as he said
the record would take care of itself.
After a few hours
we finished Mr. Keith's first song. Some of the backup singers and horn players hadn't made
records either and found it difficult
but they also didn't have a perfectionist for a manager
so they weren't used to
doing things over and over the way we were. It was at times like these that we realized how hard Dad worked to make
us consummate professionals. We came back the next few Saturdays
putting the songs we'd rehearsed during the
week into the can and taking home a new tape of Mr. Keith's each time. One Saturday
Dad even brought his guitar in
to perform with us. It was the one and only time he ever recorded with us. After the records were pressed
Mr. Keith
gave us some copies so that we could sell them between sets and after shows. We knew that wasn't how the big
groups did it
but everyone had to start someplace
and in those days
having a record with your group's name on it
was quite something. We felt very fortunate.
That first Steeltown single
