Still Arr&bee, I notice you say 'once'..so maybe that was quite enough.
And, you have survived to tell the tale...so all is well [[I think...:confused:)
Well,i was gonna open a theater there,until i heard that grady owns the mineral rights and would own the concession stands too..can you imagine a business man of my standing in cahoots with greasy grady?
No...but I would quite like to hear Grady's take on being in cahoots with YOU....:)
NOW BEING AN HONEST BUSINESSMAN,I WAS ONCE IN CAHOOTS WITH GRADY IN MY ILL SPENT YOUTH,LUCKILY THE TOWN OF CAHOOTS WAS ABANDONED AFTER SOME FOLKS ATE LUNCH AT GRADY'S AND THE RECORDS OF THAT DAY ARE LOST TO TIME...[I hope!!!]!!

Quote for the Day:
"I got tired. But Phil was the type of person that just wanted to get it right.
I was afraid. I was afraid to disturb him or be upset.
I was getting sleepy, but I would say "No, I'll keep pushing on, because Phil wants this record right."
So going over 'Da Doo Ron Ron' - 30 takes, 40 takes, 45 - that's a lot of takes to keep going over and over, to get exactly what he wanted.
But then, he gave me the biggest songs ever - 'Da Doo Ron Ron' and 'Then He Kissed Me'.
I couldn't have been more grateful to Phil for that."
