My Story #105 -- Records And Albums

 

My Story #105

Records And Albums

Pastor Ronnie Wolfe

After the Bluegrass Boys Trio had been traveling for a while, it was determined that we should make a record of some of our songs.

We recorded first at Sun-Ray Records where some very prominent recording artists have recorded. The owner was Jimmy Price. His studio was in his garage.

We remember well having to put handkerchiefs over our microphones to keep the recording from popping every time a word that started with a P was sung.

In one recording session we told Jimmy Price the name of the next song to be recorded, but he did not hear it, so he asked what the next song was, and Dema Brubacher opened the door to the small enclosed area where we were singing and shouted "Sorry, I Never Knew You." Then he closed the door. Jimmy Price first looked at us with surprise, but then he realized that was the name of our next song.

We took donations for the records as we traveled around to different churches and gave the money to Lexington Baptist College as we did the donations from churches where we went to sing.

Later we made some long-play albums, and God blessed. We realized that we had "arrived" when people said they bought our albums at a yard sale.

Those were joyful and yet stressful and tiring days, but we were determined to do this for the Lord and for LBC. We loved the Lord most, and we loved LBC.

Bob Jones drove us around in a Volks Wagon Bug, and we wore out two of them. Those were the days, as they say. May God receive honor and glory for our efforts.

We saw many trust the Lord as Savior and some young men submit to God's call to preach the word of God.
