Yeah, I produce an artist from France who recorded there and told me stories. That studio was one of those places out in the middle of literally noplace, with a train track that ran right by it and interrupted the takes, and the keyboard was nailed to the wall. funky southern guys like Duane Allman who could play gravitated to there. There used to be a lot of those kinds of studios; stax-volt, an old theatre with the drums nailed to the floor, Robin Hood Bryans in east texas with egg crates on the walls (John Fred and the Playboy Band). -- Joe Gracey President-For-Life, Jackalope Records http://www.kimmierhodes.com
