INSIDE THE COVER # 15 / 08/15

1957, a small town somewhere along the Bible Belt. Norman Potts a married man of 36 years, having his own house, a wife, two kids and a great love for music steps into his favorite record store to buy some new music to listen to after dinner when his wife Laura is cleaning up the kitchen and the kids are in bed, smoking a cigar like he does every friday evening after a hard week´s work. While Norman is talking to Tony, the local record shop owner about the latest stuff by the likes of Sinatra, Herman and Brubeck he sees this.

NORMAN

What´s that?

TONY

Isn´t she hot? Really nice voice too.

NORMAN

Is she from London?

TONY

No, it´s just the name, all American girl!

NORMAN

Unbelievable.

TONY

Wanna have a listen?

NORMAN

Guess not.

TONY

Come on.

Back home Norman puts the record on and listens all the way through to „Go slow“ when Laura is coming into the living room, „Go slow Baby, ooooh honey, take it easy on the curves...“. She throws Norman an irritated look followed by a shy smile, that Norman returns the same way before they both start to undress in front of the fireplace. What a great record!
