My name is Anne Catherine Tierney I'm mikes grand daughter. He recently passed this summer and at his service they played this song. Im so proud to say that my grandfather was a part of this record, almost every time I listen to this song I cry because it reminds me of his smile. I just want to say thanks for putting this up , I know it would mean so much to him. :)

After years of looking, I finally found this recording of this song. I never knew the names of the artists. I loved it in 1957 and used to run to the radio when it was playing (I was 14). It's funny. but I see that I still remembered all the lyrics. Yes, I always though of it as another Crew Cut, 4 Aces, 4 Lads genre. After 54 yrs, I'm so happy to hear this beautiful song again. I'm off to find more songs by the Techniques

I appreciate your reply, James. Thanks for the great sound. Are there other tracks on the net? YouTube? Elsewhere? A Techniques CD? I still have my original-pressing 45 and play it periodically, although it's not as clean (any longer) as my mp3! Fascinating to know the all-star sidemen, too! No wonder it's such a good track - and you guys sang very well. Thank you for the decades of enjoyment. (PS - by the way, do you know anything about the aforementioned Blue Notes?)

There were three records released - 6 songs, all on Roulette. Hey Little Girl was originally released on Stars Label, a local Atlanta Bill Lowery label, then re-released on Roulette. Marindy, Why Did I Ever Let Her Go, Moontan, and two others. Two Leaves was never released to my knowledge in any form.

That's absolutly as good as white, pop harmony stuff gets. Thanks for the post.

Always loved this record; nice to know the names, musicians and short history behind it. They always reminded me of the Blue Notes ("I Don't Know What It Is" on Brooke)), another college vocal group, this time out of NC. How many more Techniques releases are there? All on Roulette? Other labels? Is "Two Leaves" available anywhere in anh after-the-fact release?

[JamesT1934]

Interesting trivia about this recording and other Techniques recordings - backup musicians were Ray Stephens, Jerry Reed, Joe South and Chet Atkins. Our very best recording was never released - Two Leaves - which put words to the tune of the New World Symphony.
