And I've had my fun with storytime.
Everybody here knows that.
So, there really is no issue, now is there?

Yes but Youtube is a bit more public is it not.

Yes it is.
And I do not post anything there, just peruse what others have.
I don't alter the facts, just have a bit of fun with them, you see.
Most of Wanda's recorded history is available on youtube, so my stories are readily debunked if one chooses to do so and not just take them for what they are.

I do luvWanda's version.
The piano work is priceless.
Tnis is 40yo stuff, I know.
But, LOL, so am I.

Almost 60 .

I notice some things in the background because I used to arrange such things.
It was not just a simple...hey, honey, let's do that song of yours tonight.

There are some things I should tell you.
First of all, Sun Records was owned completely by Sam Phillips.
Capitol Record bout him out in the late 60s, I believe.
The times I am talking about were wary before Capitol locked the doors to anybody but their indiders.

Secpmd/////
I know many of my posts are not to be believed. I have a history of make believe. This is not one of those moments.

Third, -
After the session that night, Wanda asked me for a listen of the tapes.
I could not do that, and she was quite dismayed.
The reason for that was, I was shit silly scared that the cops or Sam were gonna wake up and find us ther that night, and the moment the tape rewound, I sent it off with a roady to the pressing plant just down the street.
I was truly scared, and that paranoia paid off. Not two minutes later, the cops were at the door.

You own this place? No, Sam Phillips does. He know you are here?
Uh, no, officer, he does not. See you got some tape machines rolling there.....
you wanna shut them off?
Yes, officer and erase the tapes.
OK, now, don't be pissin' off Sam anymore, we buy his records...
Dead dunk...Oh, meow.

We walked out of there with a million dollar single, had a burger down the street, and the next day, Wolfman Jack was hawking it.

Some things just cannot be repeated in this day and age.

/There were preparations to be made.
Side men had to be booked and they were not always easy to get on the spur of th emoment. At times, you had to do with lees than you hoped for becaues, for example, the drummer of choice was out on a run. The backup gurlz was drunk.
The best sax player in the world was asleep in his van out back. Things you cannot account for in real life.

I had the liberty of using the studio any which way I wished that night, or this cut would NOT have happened.
Sam, Phillips gave me unlimited access, because he knew I held the equipment he had there as God given, and it was, indeed.

SUN records was open book studio at the time, there was none other like it.
Sam gave me liberties that no other producer in the land had access to.
And in the end, he was rewarded with recordings no other producer had access to either.

This cut was an astounding take, given the circumstances and what I had to work with. Most of the bandplayers were woken up at 2 in the morning, and most of them are toasted.

980s run much cooler than 780s - they use only about 2/3 the power. If heat is what you want, go back to the 5xx, 4xx or 2xx.

580s do a dandy job of heat creation.
I am running a dozen or so of them still.
