• Song of my Ride - June 3

    If memory serves, I first heard about this a few years ago on either
    Pawn Stars or American Pickers. Someone had this Acetate, claiming it
    was his very first recording.

    Did not know that one, but it's too scratchy to keep IMO.

    His first 2 recordings, done by him privately, are these from 1952. He
    paid to record the 2 songs and got an acetate.

    As Bruce correctly said Jerry Lee's first private demo recording session
    was in 1952 (in New Orleans) that produced "Don't Stay Away" and "Jerry
    Lee's Boogie" (aka "New Orleans Boogie")

    A second demo session in Shreveport in 1954 yielded Jerry's versions of
    Hank Snow's "I Don't Hurt Anymore" and the Eddie Fisher hit (tho first
    recorded by Joni James) "I Need You NOw" tho here titled "If I Ever
    Needed You"

    His next recording date (now on an official basis for Sun records) was
    on November 14 1956 that produced his "Crazy Arms"/"End Of The Road"
    debut single

    And the rest as they say is history........
