Mr. Daniel McNally
(who should be studying)
was this first in this week
with Mr. Motown.....Berry Gordy Jr.
I have a project only a few blocks from here.....
they have daily tours and I may have to
hit it next week when I return.
Paul McCartney visited last year when he toured here.....
and footed the bill to have the original Steinway Grand Piano refurbished.
It had to be put on a train to Steinway's factory in New York for the
year-long project....
it is to be unveiled in a few weeks.
Hard to believe the amount of music that came out of
"Studio A"
which is really just a house.....
Berry used to live upstairs.
Berry is the father of Redfoo
and the Grandfather of Skyblu....
(......go ask your kids!)
Opened in the late 50's through 1972....
started with $800.
It was open 22 hours a day and
closed for 2 hours for maintenance.
Have you ever heard of any of these?
A "few" more songs here.....
must have been a pretty cool block
back in the '60's.
