Jerry Lee Lewis, at 17 years, and his all time friend, Cecil Harrelson, drove late june 52 from Ferriday to New Orleans with the bus. Jerry wanted to cut a record to have something to present to the people that organized shows.
They drove there without their parents kwowing of it.
They went to J&M Recording Studios on Dumaine and Rampart. They met COSIMO MATASA and paid 2 $ for a 78 rpm record.
Jerry recordered, alone at the piano, "NEW ORLEANS BOOGIE" an own composition for the occasion.
He also recorderd "DON'T STAY AWAY 'TILL LOVE GROWS COLD" a 1952 hit for LEFTY FRIZELL.
They drove back with the bus to Ferriday the next morning, before the posse formed, and handed over the disk to their family.
