      Thanks very much mate! Yes, it was a truly amazing experience. I really felt like that room was helping me along. I'm still 'buzzing' after the session. More lessons are on the way, btw. 👍

    What an amazing experience. Next time you come through here, let us know. I’m only 2 1/2 hours away and I would drive out to meet you. I love your videos. Isn’t it amazing that they let you actually record there. Any other town would have that room behind glass. To me that’s where the modern world begins. Right there at that spot in 1954.

      Thanks very much Jonathan. Yes, it was an amazing experience. Something I never thought I’d get to do. I’m not sure when I’ll get back across the pond, but meeting would’ve been great. It’d be nice to record there again.

      I was. I got back home yesterday. I went travelling around visiting mostly Buddy Holly connected places, and ended up in Memphis for this recording session. I've visited Memphis and Sun Studio a couple of times before, and always dreamt of recording there. This year I came into a little money and decided to treat myself. I recorded loads of videos on my travels, which I'll be uploading over the coming days and weeks.

      I've visited Memphis and Sun Studio a couple of times before. Yes, such history and atmosphere. The first time was back in 1993, when I was lucky to be shown around by Sun rockabilly recording artist Malcolm Yelvington. I'd always dreamt of recording there though. This year I came into a little money and decided to treat myself. I was only in Memphis for this recording session, so unfortunately I didn't get hang out on Beale Street. It was weird having the studio to myself (plus the recording engineers Daniel Crockett and Lydia Fletcher, of course) for a few hours. I'm still buzzing! (the session was last Sunday evening)

    Dang: I'm only 4.5 hours away !! We could've split the cost & done some rocking !! 😇 (j/k) Are they still $220/hr with a 5 hr minimum ?? Did you do a solo acoustic record or did you get some players ? I thought about going back & booking a session 0. The only thing that stopped me a year & a half ago was that you don't get to record on the same console as Elvis, Carl, Jerry Lee, Johnny, Billy Lee Riley, etc (as I understand it). Nice job on the song !!

    • @RocknRollSongbook
      @RocknRollSongbook  10 місяців тому +2

      Aww, next time I'll give you notice! 👍😁🎶 Splitting the cost would be great! It was $200/hour with a three hour minimum. It was just me and my acoustic guitar. Nice and simple. I managed to record six songs -- five songs that were recorded at Sun back in the 1950s and one of my own. The atmosphere of that legendary place helped me along I reckon. I have videos of two or three more from this session to upload. It was weird having the studio to myself (plus the recording engineers Daniel Crockett and Lydia Fletcher, of course) for a few hours. I'm still buzzing! (the session was last Sunday evening). The original board/desk is in the Graceland Museum I think, along with the piano that Jerry Lee played and that was used by the 'Million Dollar Quartet.

      @w.llawrence86 10 місяців тому

      Thanks for letting me know !! I'll probably book a 3 hour session to record my originals sometime in the future. If memory serves me correctly, I saw the original console at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (Sun Records Exhibit) circa 2003@@RocknRollSongbook

    • @RocknRollSongbook

      @@w.llawrence86 The console I saw at Graceland may have just been the same RCA machine used as part of a display. I noticed that you called it a 'console', and I see that IS what it's generally called. I went to the Norman Petty Studio over in Clovis, New Mexico last week, and they call the same type of thing a 'mixing board'. Confusing! 🙁

    Isn't that why they've came out with Pro-tools and PreSonus DAW systems so people can record at home, and not have to pay those kind of studio prices.
    I under nostalgia, but nostalgia might have dark and not so pleasant happens from the past...

      Yes, there's truth in what you say. But it was a thrill for me to record in that room where so many of my musical heroes also recorded in the 1950s. It's not for everyone, I understand that.
