This is the Hammond Solovox, Model K that produced
the distinct sound made famous in The Fireballs' "Sugar Shack".
A small hallway leads to the back kitchen that is exactly the same as it was in the 50s
(as you'll note by the decor).
More records & signed photos of the groups, as well as Norman & Vi's books are in the small area.
Living quarters in the back of the studio.
Vi had an extensive "cat" ornament collection!

The artists would sleep on these beds in between long sessions.
In the backyard, many photo sessions took place including
Buddy & The Crickets' early promo shots...
...and this early Fireballs promo shot. They returned to another backyard
tree in a photo for the back of their "Bottle Of Wine" LP.
