Delious was right. delious是正确的。 There was something magical about the group.有一些神奇的有关小组。 Despite anything negative I may say about him from this point on, I will give him this point: he picked a good group of guys for this project.尽管什么负面我可以说对他从这个角度上，我会给他这一点：他挑选一个好的组球员为这一项目。

The first rehearsal was mostly a gab session.第一次彩排主要是一甲会议。 Introducing ourselves to the rest of the group, blowing our own horns, and describing our musical backgrounds and accomplishments.在介绍自己其余的组，吹自己的喇叭，并说明我们的音乐背景和成就。 Alot of this information was old news to me.很多这方面的资料是旧的消息给我。 Delious and Jeff didn’t know that I had already spent a fair amount of time with Jerimy and Doug outside of the auditions, and Matt and I had talked quite a bit, though there was a bit of tension between us that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. delious和Jeff不知道我已花了相当多的时间与jerimy和道格以外的试镜，马特和我谈了不少位，虽然是有点紧张，我们之间，我不能不少付诸表决，我的手指上。 He kept his responses fairly short, and was doing his best to maintain an air of exaggerated professionalism.他保持他的反应相当短，这样做，他尽力维持一个空气夸大的专业水平。

Stephen was the oldest of the five of us.斯蒂芬是最古老的五我们。 He had a choir background, a pleasant tenor/high tenor voice, with a range not unlike my own.他有一个合唱团的背景，一个愉快的男高音/高男高音的声音，与一系列不同，没有我自己。 He grew up in California, but had since moved to Nashville.他长大，并在加利福尼亚州，但由于迁移到纳什维尔。 He was quiet in the beginning, but quickly became the “yes man” of the group.他是安静的在开始的，但很快就成了“是男人”的小组。 Delious was his leader and he the willing sheep. delious是他的领导人和他是愿意羊。 If we received a direction from Delious, Stephen would be the first to echo his words back to us.如果我们收到了方向，从delious ，斯蒂芬将首次呼应他的话给我们。 I guess every group has one of these types in it, but it has never scored points with me.我猜想每一个小组之一，这些类型在它，但它从来没有得分与我。

Doug had had little singing experience when he auditioned for the group.道格已很少唱歌的经验，当他auditioned为组。 He was definitely in need of polishing.他是绝对有需要的抛光。 As I said earlier, he had a nice strong lead voice, with the perfect amount of Oklahoma twang to make you think he had actually been born in a tractor seat.正如我刚才所说，他有好强烈的铅的声音，与完善的金额俄克拉何马州twang ，使你认为他实际上已出生，在一台拖拉机的席位。 He may have been.他可能已。 What he couldn’t do was sing a harmony part to save his life.什么他不能做的是唱和谐的一部分，以挽救他的生命。 If he wasn’t singing lead when we were rehearsing, he’d invariably end up doubling the lead, occasionally an octave lower.如果他不唱歌，带头当我们排练，他总是要结束了一倍，铅，偶尔倍频较低。 I can remember pulling him aside and playing a note on the guitar or piano and saying, “Sing that note.” He would sing it.我记得拉他一边玩的一个注记吉他或钢琴曲和说： “唱注” ，他会唱。 I would play another note, he would accurately sing that note.我想发挥的另一个注意，他会准确地唱注。 I would then sing the original note, and ask him to sing the second note.我想，然后唱原来的注意，并请他唱第二注意。 Impossible.不可能的。 Couldn’t do it.不能这样做。 I would get so frustrated, and say “Doug, can you hear the difference between these notes?” ” Uh’Course I can, I ain’t stupid,” he would reply.我会这么沮丧，并说“道格，你能听到的差异，这些债券？ ” ， “ uh'course我可以，我是并不愚蠢， ”他会答复。

Honestly, Jerimy was my favorite in the beginning.老实说， jerimy是我最喜爱的在开始时。 Not just because I thought he was cute, which he was… but he was also the most genuine of the bunch.不仅是因为我以为他是可爱的，他… …但他也是最真诚的一群。 He was the youngest, and had no knowledge of how the music business worked… no concept of being in a band.他当时最年轻的，没有知识，如何音乐业务工作…没有的概念，被一个乐队成员。 He just knew he liked to sing, and everyone told him that he was good.他只知道他喜欢唱歌，每个人都告诉他，他好。 He was from a little town in Oklahoma, had a girlfriend back home that he missed terribly, talked openly about his love of his family and said all the right things that would make country fans swoon.他是从一个小城镇在俄克拉何马州，有一个女朋友回家，他错过了可怕的，谈公开谈论他爱他的家人，并表示所有正确的事这将使国家的球迷swoon 。 He had a baritone voice, but was picked to sing bass, which could be a bit problematic as he would lose the pitch as he reached the depths of his range.他有一个男中音的声音，但被钦点唱低音，这可能有点问题，因为他将失去音高，因为他达到的深度，他的范围。

Matt was by far the strongest singer.马特是迄今最强的歌手。 His vocal range was perfect for a front man, his pitch was almost always perfect.他的音域是完美的一个前线男子，其间距几乎总是十全十美的。 He could pick out a harmony almost immediately and like me, had an extensive performance background and was used to blending in with a group.他可以挑选出和谐几乎立即和我一样，进行了广泛的背景和表现被用来融合在同一个小组。 He was from the Chicago area, and came from a pretty conservative family.他是从芝加哥地区，和来自一个美丽的保守家庭。 His father was a minister in a Church of God.他的父亲是一位部长在一个神的教会。 He worked for BMI, the music rights and clearances organization, and he had a pretty solid knowledge of the business.他工作的BMI ，音乐的权利和清拆行动的组织，他有一个漂亮的坚实的知识业务。 He would often join me in my efforts to teach Doug and Jerimy the basics of singing with other people, such as the importance of listening to each other and trying to match your tone to theirs.他会经常和我一起在我的努力教导道格和jerimy的基本歌唱与其他人，如重要性，听取对方的企图，以符合您的语气向他们。

And then there was me.然后有我。 It would be rather impossible for me to describe myself at that time period without either being too hard, or too soft on myself.便，而我不可能来形容自己在这个时间内没有任何正在太硬，或太软，就我自己。 I was working for the radio station, rubbing elbows with the biggest names in country and pop music at the time.我的工作，为广播电台，擦肘与最大的名字在国家和流行音乐在时间。 I was excited about the project, but very skeptical of the concept.我感到兴奋的项目，但很怀疑的概念。 One thing I can say about myself is that I already understood and accepted my strengths and limitations as an artist.一件事我可以说我自己，是因为我已经理解和接受我的长处和局限，作为一个艺术家。 I had, after all, been singing professionally for 8 or 9 years by then.我有，毕竟，一直唱歌，专业为8或9年，由当时的。 I was the 2nd oldest, and fell into the role of big brother, explaining concepts to the Okies and usually remaining calm even when rehearsals occasionally got tense.我是第二最古老的，并陷入的作用，大哥哥，解释的概念，向okies通常余下的平静，甚至排练时，偶尔会得到紧张。

Delious detailed his ideas for the band… loosely based on the boy-band concept of his band, All-4-One, and newcomers *Nsync and The Backstreet Boys. delious详细他的理念，为乐队…松散的基础上，男童带的概念，他的乐队，所有- 4 - 1 ，新人* nsync和后街男孩。 We would dress sharp, play to the 13 year old girl market, and become fabulously popular.我们会着装夏普，发挥13岁的女孩市场，并成为fabulously受欢迎。 We’d have some “minor choreography” but only so far as to make us look like we had spent time rehearsing, as country audiences were less likely to buy into the gimmick that worked so well in the pop world.我们希望有一些“小的编舞” ，但只有这样，就使我们看看像我们花了时间排练，作为国家的观众不太可能购买到手段，认为工作这么好，在弹出的世界。 Delious and Jeff would talk in riddles when it came to details of the ‘contract’ that he was proposing. delious和Jeff谈会在灯谜时，来详细的'合同' ，他建议。 It was described as a Production Agreement, and we’d have plenty of time to hammer out details of the agreement after we had gotten our demo together to present to Atlantic Records.它被形容为一个生产协议，我们希望有充裕的时间敲定协议细节后，我们得到了我们的演示一起，目前大西洋的纪录。
