Norm Vincent Studio where Lynyrd Skynyrd Recorded Their First Studio Recordings FreeBird, Michelle &

I hope you will forgive the shaky camera. I have no assistance in doing videos and so I have to hold camera in one hand while trying to operate the computer in the other hand and its a bit shaky, but in this video I identify the very location that the very first Lynyrd Skynyrd studio recordings were made and recorded within. And I can't believe I forgot to say that inside of this building is where the first studio recording of FreeBird was recorded! Historical negligence on my part. Maybe one day I can do a better job of explaining this one, but for now it is what it is. To date I don't think anyone has ever identified the precise location of the Norm Vincent Studios with a street address so fans could visit it and add it into their around Jacksonville site locations to visit. But in my opinion, this location and this building shown here is one of the most important Skynyrd sites of all time. What happened at this location and within this building set the stage for the world's greatest rock band ever! The very formation of their sound on record was first established at the location revealed in this video probably for the first time ever to Skynyrd fans. And as an update in checking Florida corporate records I find that this same Thomas H. Markham has reopened up Shade Tree Records in 2021 and is still active today in 2024. I wonder why? I may have to remove this video and redo it changing my wording slightly if anyone complains about one thing I said in this video, but with court order it might make it legal to mention otherwise I could be in trouble on this one! Not trying to. Just trying to cover history as I learned it.

@@kevinoldssr6051 Kevin I am not finding anything to support your claim. I got my info about the five songs directly off the credits of the Collectybles album which says 5 songs recorded at Norm Vincent Studio and that song you mentioned "He's Alive" was recorded and produced by Quin Ivy as a demo recorded at Muscle Shoals. Can you show any documentation to show the song "He's Alive" was recorded in Jacksonville? Markham and Sutton sold all of their early Skynyrd recordings to MCA and as far as I know ALL of them were released on the Collectybles album and kept together on the album.

Do you have any more of those that you would consider selling?

[@Cagey-1]

No, I sold them all but there is one ATINA record on e bay for $100. The county Skynyrd band members lived in and wrote their songs in has almost nothing on Skynyrd in their museum. I plan on changing that as much as possible. Johnny and Donnie and Judy and others have not donated anything.
