Starting my own square dance record company has been an idea in the back of my mind for several years. After recording Everybody wants to go to Heaven with Willis Simmons in late 2008, Willis made the comment to me that he thought that I should start my own record company. Well that’s all I needed to get the brain going in high gear on this idea. After making several contacts with a studio and a distributor, and good friend and producer of my last two records, Reggie Knipher, we began to put together a record company. We began working on our first songs the first of 2009. Experiencing a few bumps along the way, finding out that all songs are not suitable for square dance and establishing the correct key range for the music, we finally got the music in our hands. Of course we have to determine the words, figures, etc., to go to the music, put it on paper, practice the vocal with the music and then go to the studio to put the vocal track with the music. Once all this is accomplished we will send the music to distributor who will make CDs, and make it available as an mp3 file on line. They will also label the CDs, copy and do everything to make the music ready for distribution. (Who said this was easy?)
We hope to have our first releases out in June 2009 if we don’t hit any other snags. We hope to release two records at this time with one or two a month after the first release. More music is already in the works. We will be inviting other callers and cuers, who have a desire to make a square or round dance record, to join us in the future. We hope to assemble a staff of, mostly, regional callers and cuers. We hope that you will enjoy our music and find it suitable to be in your record case.
Anyone interested in recording a square dance or round dance record and being on the staff, should contact Larry Belcher for information.
