On Saints, Grainger harmonizes with himself. The ability for the Webcor to record "sound with sound" and "Sound on sound" enabled the singer to better develop a song, or performance.

"The Believers"
Junior/Senior High School Prom, Alpine, Texas May, 1964
When the Believers (poster page 1, page 2) played at the AHS Junior Senior prom in 1964, Martin asked for a copy of the tape recording made on their Roberts recorder (seen above). The Believers were a group of Sul Ross State College (now University) students. After the prom the band members headed for their homes for the Summer of '64. Go to Believers page
The Lead Singer, Grainger Hunt (seen in the middle of the photo above) stayed in Alpine with his family. Knowing Martin had
a copy of the tape, he called and asked to hear it. Just the month before, for high school graduation, Martin's parents bought him the Webcor (below) which enabled "sound with/on sound." Grainger asked if Martin would help him develop and record some new songs. The rest of the Summer was spent in numerous ("fun & learning") sessions and the "draft" recording of new material for the Believers, including the development of their new song "Motor Mouth." The Believers then went to San Angelo and recorded"Motor Mouth" at Ron Newdoll's Accurate Sound Company. The studio had a #1 hit with "Last Kiss" by the Cavaliers. (right- studio building in 2006)
Go back to '60's (if only...)
