Our First Record
Robert Plant was not available, but “Leonard’s Yard” was very excited to bring Robert Singletary to the team. Robert’s high tenor rock voice would do just fine for this original project. It was very exciting for all of them in their late thirties to be creating such great music. They were all very seasoned players yet none of them had ever made a professional quality studio recording of their music. The band selected “Electric Jungle Studio’s” as the place to set up shop and cut their first record.
It was 1996 and all studios were going digital however The Master Technician, Vaughn Schnakenberg, owner/operator, had an old school 16 track, 2″ tape, real to real set up… Just like Zeppelin Dudes! Vaughn is this diehard rocker who has a heart of gold and sincere passion for good music. He truly was like another member of the band as they moved through the process of making this first record. There were literally tears shed in the studio by all as they listened to a playback of themselves hearing, “I Believe in Angels” — crisp, clean, perfect in every way. The true blessing is it sounds exactly that way today. Mike is known to still tear up over it from time to time.
