| Norman Petty Recordings studios. Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Waylon Jennings, LeAnn Rimes, etc. The colored boxes in the drawer on the lower right are vacuum tubes. Norman Petty engineered this studio and was known for the clarity of sound. |
 |
| The Fireballs hated Norman adding the cheesy little synthetic Keyboard on "Sugar Shack" right up until it became a national #1 hit. |
 |
| Norman Petty is squatting next to Paul McCartney and in front of Elton John. Norman was invited to Paul's English Estate as true Beatles were so heavily influenced by his recording techniques with Buddy Holly. A lot of other people look familiar here. Click on any picture to enlarge. |

Amazing who is tucked away in small towns, sure that couple had some interesting stories from their lifetime. Kannon likes the the old Silvertone...especially at that price.
