Hi. I'm looking for Red Stovall. Is he here?
1:35:05
He isn't feeling too good.
1:35:07
Sorry to hear that.
1:35:08
You think he'd be up to talking to me
for a minute?
1:35:14
Uncle Red, there's a man here to see...
1:35:16
Henry Axle from Burnside Records.
1:35:18
I saw you today at the Opry. I'd like
to talk to you for a minute if I can.
1:35:27
What do you want?
1:35:29
First, I'd like to tell you
how much I enjoyed hearing you sing.
1:35:32
Coughing, don't you mean?
1:35:34
Sorry to hear about your illness, Red.
1:35:37
You don' t mind if I call you Red, do you?
1:35:39
That won't stand in the way
of a deal I have to offer you.
1:35:42
Do you think we can sit down
and talk about it for a minute?
1:35:50
My partner, Charlie Jones...
1:35:52
he was at the Opry today, too.
1:35:54
He and I are down here from New York
looking for new talent.
1:36:00
You interest us.
1:36:01
After I heard you today,
I got on the phone to the company...
1:36:05
and the upshot was I've been
authorized to offer you a deal...
1:36:08
to record for Burnside.
1:36:11
We'll pay you $20
for each song you record.
1:36:14
For ones we like, that is.
1:36:18
A flat fee? No royalties?
1:36:20
I'm afraid not. The people
in the front office insist on that.
1:36:24
This'll be a chance for you
to find a mass audience...
1:36:27
and that's what you want, isn't it?
1:36:28
You get one hit record out of this,
you'll be able to write your own ticket.
1:36:33
When do you want to do all this?
1:36:35
Tomorrow...
1:36:38
if you feel up to it.
1:36:46
I want $100 in advance.
1:36:49
I think we can manage that.
1:36:51
A drummer, steel guitar,
and a decent piano man.
1:36:53
You'll have them.
1:36:55
Here's where you can find us.
