Airfield Song (demo)

And now we meet in an abandoned studio.
We find some vinyl and it seems so long ago.
And you remember this demo used to go...

"Reportedly" found in "a dusty old storage cabinet" the other day, here's a "1959 Nashville demo" from some unknown act called "Bobby & the Yup family":


After some modern-day digital processing, it cleans up pretty nicely for a "52-year-old acetate," don't you think? Not so sure about that "Bobby" guy on vocals, though... I can't imagine he had any sort of career in music after this.

Also, the engineer needed to push the Yup family's piano player higher in the mix... or maybe the piano is intentionally buried because the guy was playing all the wrong notes?

Oh-a oh,
They weren't the first ones,
Oh-a oh,
They weren't the last ones...
