The Wes Paul Band Arrive at Independent Studios - North Cleveland
Wes noticed a fancy clothes shop and couldn't resist browsing - this is the sort of place Elvis would have gotten his clothes. It was called men of distinction...

The weather was hot and the sun was blazing down from a clear sky - just like we like...

We were introduced to Chris the owner of Independent - he truned out to be a real nice guy...

We decided to use the upstairs studio and Jason started setting his drums up whilst we had a nice cold drink... Wes had taken down a crate of coke and then sent out for some beers...

The rehearsal started with run through of the tracks we were planning to run through at the recording session at Sun Studios that is:

1. That's All Right

2. Folsom Prison

3. Stripes

4. Jackson

5. Blue Suede Shoes

6. Baby Let's Play House

7. Johnny B Goode

8. Roll Over Beethoven

9. Shakin All Over

We then went through a list of our standard country stuff - such as:

1. Tonight The Bottle Let me Down

2. Fighting Side of Me

3. Working Man Blues

4. Branded Man

5. Streets of Baltimore

6. Okey From Muscogie

It was a great rehearsal and Chris gave us all takes and individual tracks of instruments and vocals.

Now it was back to the apartment in a cab ($11.00 + $4.00 tip).

We went back to the apartment and Bec and Wes Paul decided to have a nap with the intention of going to Beale Street later - however, they didn't wake up until 12:00 midnight. (One comfy apartment) so back to sleep for the night...

Tommorow was to be a big day recording at Sun Studio... We were also going sight seeing...
