\"\u201cI JUST KNEW THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE\u201d\"<\/em><\/h1>\n

HOW SHANE T. KELLER REALIZED HIS DESTINY AT PAISLEY PARK<\/h3>\n

Interviewed by writer: Tony Kiene <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Shane T. Keller was born and raised in the small town of Hazen, North Dakota, not far from Lake Sakakawea and some 70 miles northwest of the capital city of Bismarck. The son of a coal miner, Shane remembers his favorite childhood toy was an old-fashioned record player. And, as some of his older brothers and sisters made their way to college they left a collection of vinyl to captivate him including records by the likes of Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and Vanilla Fudge.<\/p>\n

At the age of seven Shane asked his parents for a tape recorder for Christmas and his fascination with recorded sound only grew from there. He was certainly influenced by his older brother, who while in high school had taken up the guitar and joined a band. Shane thought that was so cool he would even follow in his brother\u2019s footsteps at Hazen High. Still, it was during the summer of 1983, when Shane was still in middle school, that his musical tastes truly began to form, largely via a television show. Yet this was not just any show, but one that opened his eyes to the emerging revolution in music and it\u2019s most prolific and gifted protagonist. <\/p>\n

\u201cHEY! THAT\u2019S THAT 1999 GUY!\u201d<\/p>\n

MTV, which was not even two years old in June 1983, had yet to invade every cable television market, much less those in rural North Dakota. However, SuperStation WTBS was already penetrating millions of American homes and its new show Night Tracks (which predated NBC\u2019s Friday Night Videos by just a couple of months) brought music videos to the masses that didn\u2019t have MTV. It was by watching this show that Shane became mesmerized by this new visual medium and some of the biggest videos of the day, including Prince\u2019s \u201c1999.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, in order to actually buy some of the hit records that were coming out, Shane and his friends had little choice but to make the hour plus trip to Bismarck. \u201cBack then,\u201d as Shane reminisces, \u201cIt was common for stores to play the popular songs of the day over their PA system.\u201d So one day in May 1984, while perusing one of these record stores, a song came on that instantly caught Shane\u2019s attention. \u201cWhat is that,\u201d he thought to himself.<\/p>\n

As he scurried to the front of the store to inquire, Shane recognized the record sleeve that was on display. \u201cHey! That\u2019s that \u201c1999\u201d guy!\u201d The song was \u201cWhen Doves Cry,\u201d and there was no question that a copy of (what would soon become) Prince\u2019s first number one single would be making its way back to Hazen with Shane. Moreover, the experience of truly discovering Prince and his music, would in many ways begin to shape Shane\u2019s life and career goals. <\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

PRINCE BUILDS HIS PAISLEY PARK<\/h2>\n

With Purple Rain and the three albums that followed, Shane marveled at Prince\u2019s mastery of the recording studio and seemingly inimitable production capabilities. And, although a musician himself, Shane now knew that what he really wanted to do with his life was to somehow \u201cbe involved in the process of making records.\u201d <\/p>\n

As he neared his senior year of high school, Shane recalls his mother showing him a story that appeared in the Bismarck Tribune. The headline read, \u201cPrince builds his Paisley Park.\u201d Shane reveals, \u201cIt was at that precise moment when I just knew I was supposed to be there.\u201d Years later Shane would learn that Steve Parke had exactly the same revelation.<\/p>\n

Shane managed to write his senior paper on audio engineering, although he was only able to find a single book to use as source material. As high school ended for Shane he was unambiguous about his future. \u201cI graduated in May 1988 and by June I had an apartment in Minneapolis.\u201d That summer, he enrolled in Brown Institute, which had recently relocated its campus to the intersection of East Lake Street and Hiawatha Avenue, just a few blocks from the fabled \u201cPurple Rain\u201d house.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey sold me on their recording program,\u201d notes Shane. And while the experience wasn\u2019t exactly what he expected, he began to develop a number of important skills, not to mention that he met Mitch Mortenson. Mitch, who later became an assistant technician for Sal Greco (Paisley Park\u2019s Chief Technical Engineer), would ultimately become critical to Shane\u2019s own hopes and dreams.<\/p>\n

Then, sometime that fall, in between dates of the Lovesexy Tour, Paisley Park hosted Sound Stage \u201988, an industry expo that featured tours and an open house of the facility. Much to his delight, Shane learned that as a student at Brown he would be able to volunteer at the event. For most of the day, that meant standing along Audubon Road and \u201cdirecting cars to park in a ditch.\u201d Nonetheless, Shane was excited, even proud to be involved in any capacity.<\/p>\n

Late in the afternoon as the event was winding down, Shane was invited inside \u201cjust to look around a bit.\u201d He first encountered engineer Dave Friedlander in Studio A. \u201cDave was really friendly\u201d, says Shane, \u201cbut he didn\u2019t have a lot of time to chat. He was setting up for a session.\u201d Shane asked if the session was with Prince to which Dave replied, \u201cI really can\u2019t say.\u201d \u201cBut yeah,\u201d Shane laughs, \u201cIt was.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then found himself in Studio C where he met Sal for the first time and boldly asked if Prince was difficult to work for. As Shane recollects, Sal was pretty diplomatic in his answer, saying that \u201cWhen you sometimes spend 20 hours a day with a person, you tend to get on each other\u2019s nerves.\u201d As he left the Park that day, Shane knew that he must find his way back and this time around, it had to be in some sort of official capacity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI NOTICE THIS PLACE HAS A LOT OF WINDOWS\u2026 SOMEBODY HAS TO CLEAN THEM.\u201d <\/h2>\n

Although he desperately wanted to work at Paisley Park, Shane was still in need of a \u201creal job.\u201d As he continued his studies at Brown, he worked at a nearby Target store, with Mitch no less. Shane later found work at 3M, which helped him to acquire more technical skills. Nonetheless, he wanted to find something a little more suitable to his chosen field. As it turns out, the older brother of a friend recorded a record at Metro Studios, where Tom Tucker, Jr. had recently taken the reigns over from his father, the legendary Tom Tucker, Sr. So after following up on his new connection, he was invited to Metro to chat with Tom, Jr. Shane wondered if perhaps this could be the start of something special.<\/p>\n

Right up front Tom, Jr. explained that he really didn\u2019t have enough work to bring Shane on board. \u201cMy initial thought,\u201d admits Shane, was \u201cOkay. Then why am I here?\u201d However, Tom, Jr. recaptured Shane\u2019s attention when he said, \u201cYou know, my dad is out at Paisley now. I can put you in touch with him.\u201d And that began a process where Shane called out to Chanhassen time and time again trying to set up an interview; a process that Shane notes took the better part of a year. <\/p>\n

On each of these occasions Shane spoke to Marci Meyocks (Tom, Sr.\u2019s Assistant.) \u201cMarci was so friendly and each time I called I informed her that I\u2019d learned something new.\u201d Nevertheless, his repeated requests for an interview simply couldn\u2019t be accommodated, at least not then. Shane\u2019s persistence paid off however, and after nine months, he got his interview with Tom Tucker, Sr.<\/p>\n

When he walked into the building, preparations were underway for the Diamonds and Pearls Tour. \u201cThere was so much going on,\u201d says Shane, \u201cIt was as if I was stepping into Willy Wonka\u2019s Chocolate Factory. It was so exciting.\u201d Yet Shane\u2019s excitement turned to anxiety once he sat down with Tom, Sr., who started the interview by explaining that he had a massive stack of r\u00e9sum\u00e9s from qualified and accomplished engineers all over the world. \u201cSo, why would I hire you?\u201d<\/p>\n

To Shane\u2019s mind it seemed like the \u201cclassic brush-off.\u201d Now, in \u201cfull panic mode,\u201d he searched for an answer to the question. What came out was, \u201cI notice this place has a lot of windows\u2026 somebody has to clean them.\u201d Whether it was Shane\u2019s tenacity, quick thinking, or perhaps a little of both, Tom must have been impressed. Shane was hired as the night receptionist. And still, in lieu of his larger aspirations, Shane was also given the chance to talk again with Sal Greco. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s where Mitch comes in,\u201d reveals Shane, \u201cHe had already shared Sal\u2019s interview process with me.\u201d When Shane arrived, Sal brought him into Studio A, sat him down in front of the recording console and said \u201cI\u2019ll be back in five minutes. Show me what you know.\u201d When Sal returned he assessed Shane\u2019s knowledge as not necessarily good or bad, but \u201cokay.\u201d <\/p>\n

Next, Sal presented him with the schematic of a multi-track, which is where Mitch\u2019s intel proved valuable. Not wanting to take anything for granted, Shane had another buddy (an electrical engineer) quiz him before the interview. \u201cSal gave me these various scenarios on the multi-track to see if I could identify the problem and how to fix it. I thought I did pretty well.\u201d But then Sal said something that blew Shane\u2019s mind. \u201cIf you ever get on the Prince gig then that is a whole different can of worms.\u201d Taken aback, Shane thought to himself, \u201cOh my God, that could actually happen.\u201d He expounds, \u201cI so wanted to work at Paisley Park, but never assumed I\u2019d ever even meet Prince, much less record for him.\u201d <\/p>\n

Sal provided some additional guidance when he reminded Shane that while he was tending to the lobby and answering phones each night, he\u2019d have some down time. \u201cRemember, you have access to all the production and engineering manuals.\u201d Shane put that advice to good use and read, and read, and then read some more. And, in the meantime, he found his role as night supervisor more rewarding than expected, both personally and professionally. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Therese (Therese Stoulil, Paisley Park\u2019s long-time administrative assistant and Music Production Coordinator) left at 5:30 every day I basically became the secretary,\u201d explains Shane. That often meant fielding calls from Warner Bros. executives such Mo Ostin, Lenny Waronker, and Russ Thyret, and oftentimes from even Prince himself. \u201cIt\u2019s funny,\u201d Shane chuckles, \u201cBecause whenever I spoke to Prince in those days I would never tell him my name. He\u2019d call and ask, \u2018Who\u2019s this?\u2019 I\u2019d simply reply \u2018The night receptionist.\u2019\u201d And yet, even though they weren\u2019t on a first name basis, Shane sensed that he was somehow developing a rapport with Prince. <\/p>\n

\u201cYOU\u2019LL KNOW THAT YOU\u2019RE \u2018IN\u2019 WHEN HE SAYS YOUR NAME\u201d <\/h2>\n

Shane had been told by more than one person at Paisley Park, \u201cYou\u2019ll know you\u2019re \u2018in\u2019 when he says your name.\u201d Ironically, by not divulging his name when speaking to Prince, Shane likely delayed that magical moment. Nevertheless, he looked forward to that day. Meanwhile, due to the nature of his current role, particularly in a place that operated 24\/7, a lot of people were saying Shane\u2019s name and built relationships with others at Paisley Park. <\/p>\n

Among those people were engineers Ray Hahnfeldt and Steve Durkee, who took notice of his unyielding desire to read and learn. \u201cRay and Steve brought me in, took me under their wings so to speak.\u201d Steve would even call on Shane to help during recording sessions, even some with Prince. \u201cSteve would sneak me in and out to assist him with whatever. It was nothing major. Patch fades, things like that. But I saw and learned a lot during the recording of and Come. It was big part of my training.\u201d<\/p>\n

One evening, while Shane was dutifully manning the phones at Paisley Park, Dave Friedlander came bounding out of Studio A toward the front lobby. During his session, as it was later relayed to Shane, Prince said, \u201cSomeone ask Shane to call Mayte.\u201d Dave, who was beside himself with laughter, \u201cHe said your name! He said your name! You\u2019re in! You can\u2019t get out now!\u201d Although Dave was joking about the not getting out part, it\u2019s not as if Shane would have ever wanted to leave. He was having the time of his life and it would only get better.<\/p>\n

During this time, some new engineers were brought in, experienced individuals at that, but for one reason or another they just didn\u2019t work out. So in the fall of 1993 \u2013 as Prince was preparing to record The Gold Experience \u2013 Steve, Ray, and Dave went to bat for him. They lobbied to Sal that Shane had proved his mettle while demonstrating a budding skill set, so in their mind, he deserved \u201ca real shot.\u201d Sal agreed and informed Shane \u201cYou\u2019re next on the Prince gig.\u201d <\/p>\n

Although he was thrilled by the opportunity and a new title (Assistant Engineer), it wasn\u2019t lost on Shane that he hadn\u2019t arrived yet. \u201cIt was time for me to either sink or swim.\u201d Not to mention, the way it worked back then when bringing in someone new, was to still sneak them in and out of recording sessions. Shane was warned that eventually \u201cHe will catch you.\u201d If Prince didn\u2019t say anything more, that meant you \u201cwere good.\u201d Otherwise, he might say, \u201cNo. They\u2019ve gotta leave.\u201d When Prince finally did notice Shane in the studio, he didn\u2019t speak but instead flashed a sly smile. \u201cHe knew what it was. His silence was his approval\u2019\u201d says Shane, \u201cI was in.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Gold Experience sessions went on for several months and Shane was taking on more and more responsibilities; setting up the studio, checking levels, and helping to mix and track. And that was just the beginning. \u201cThat period between 1993 and 1996 was so prolific for Prince,\u201d he exclaims, \u201cI think we did upwards of 12 albums in that time, not to mention all the unreleased material we recorded. His creative output was second to none.\u201d Along with The Gold Experience, other Prince titles Shane contributed to were Chaos and Disorder, Emancipation, Crystal Ball, and The Vault: Old Friends for Sale. Among his additional credits were The NPG\u2019s Exodus, Chaka Khan\u2019s Come 2 My House, George Benson\u2019s That\u2019s Right, a project by the Sounds of Blackness, and a second rendering of Madhouse 24.<\/p>\n

PRINCE: THE VISIONARY <\/h2>\n

As proud as he is of all that he contributed to Prince\u2019s recording process during those years, as well as others at Paisley Park, there are a multitude of moments that Shane simply cannot forget or would ever want to. \u201cPrince was always coming up with these brilliant ideas, futuristic stuff,\u201d recalls Shane, \u201cThings that might sound crazy, until 10 years later they\u2019re a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

For example, one day when discussing the internet with Shane and Steve, Prince says, \u201cYou know. I can sell my music online,\u201d to which they replied in unison, \u201cYes.\u201d Prince continues, \u201cI don\u2019t need a record company.\u201d \u201cYes,\u201d said Shane and Steve. \u201cAnd you guys can make the cd\u2019s,\u201d reasons Prince. Although they may have nodded yes, in their minds the two engineers thought, \u201cNo.\u201d <\/p>\n

As they left the studio, knowing that they didn\u2019t have the capacity to print half-a-million discs in house, Shane asked Steve, \u201cDo you think he\u2019ll remember this conversation on Monday?\u201d Regardless, as Shane affirms, \u201cPrince was already ahead of the times.\u201d<\/p>\n

On another occasion, Prince took Shane and Steve into Studio B, where told them \u201cI want all of this in a box, so that I can have it in my house.\u201d \u201cWhen he said everything,\u201d recounts Shane, \u201cHe meant everything, the console, the outboard gear, the keyboards, all of it. He even said he\u2019d give us $10,000 and wanted a prototype in a week.\u201d Hoping again that Prince might not remember the conversation, Shane observes that he was already \u201cdescribing the future of Pro Tools.\u201d <\/p>\n

PRINCE: THE FUNNY MAN<\/h2>\n

According to Shane, Prince was always seemed the happiest when he was busy. However, that busy time didn\u2019t always have to revolve around music. \u201cPrince loved to tease us all. He would take turns giving the engineers s#@%,\u201d relates Shane. On one occasion, when Shane tripped over some cables in the studio, Prince quipped, \u201cWay to go, Grace.\u201d However, as Shane adds those moments were not solely reserved for staff. In fact, \u201cPrince loved to orchestrate his own fun,\u201d including at the \u201cgood natured\u201d expense of his own band. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey (Prince and The NPG) were all in Studio A one day when Prince walks out and asks Ray and I if either of us had seen Pulp Fiction yet,\u201d says Shane, \u201cWe both say yes and Prince gets this devious grin on his face.\u201d The next thing Shane and Ray know is that they\u2019re watching a VHS copy of the movie with Prince and the band, sitting toward the back with their boss while the rest of the NPG was up front. Anticipating that the band would be taken aback by some of the content, Prince laughed and joked his way through the whole film. Still laughing about it himself today, Shane notes that \u201cThe three of us always knew what was coming next, but the band was shocked over and over again, especially Michael.\u201d According to Shane, it was times like these when Prince would let his guard down that he was so much fun to be around. \u201cHe was so funny. Prince had this magnetic personality that, when it came out, it just made you feel good. <\/p>\n

REMEMBERING PRINCE\t<\/h2>\n

After spending the better half of the 1990s in Prince\u2019s employ, Shane eventually moved on to work for other artists including U2, Madonna, Metallica, Alanis Morissette, Mariah Carey, and Sting. He ultimately transitioned to the world of film and television where he\u2019s worked as a Re-recording mixer, Sound Editor, and Mastering Engineer for studios such as Paramount, 20th Century Fox, and now Disney. In these roles, Shane mastered the art of 5.1 surround sound mixing and has helped restore the sound quality of such classic films as The Blues Brothers, Saturday Night Fever, Urban Cowboy, White Christmas, and The Beatles\u2019 Yellow Submarine.<\/p>\n

When considering all that he learned while working for Prince and how those lessons benefit him now, the first thing that comes to mind is Prince\u2019s work ethic. \u201cAs long as I\u2019ve been in this business now, I\u2019ve never met anyone like Prince. All of his talent aside, he put in the work. And, he expected the same of all those around him.\u201d <\/p>\n

Furthermore, the payoff for that work was always worth it. \u201cThere were weeks where we might have been in the studio for 120 hours or more, just wanting desperately to go home,\u201d Shane explains, \u201cThen Prince would do something that floored you, literally gave you goosebumps. And all the anguish and desire to go home just disappeared. He was that good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, in remembering Prince, Shane can\u2019t leave out one of his most mystical characteristics; his energy. \u201cYou immediately felt Prince\u2019s presence when he walked into the room, whether you saw him or not.\u201d He recalls a conversation with Heidi Hanschu, another engineer at Paisley Park, where he tried to assure her he was not \u201cfanning out,\u201d when describing the electricity that Prince seemingly possessed. Indubitably, Heidi didn\u2019t require any convincing and simply said, \u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt (Prince\u2019s energy) wasn\u2019t because he was a superstar,\u201d Shane concludes, \u201cI\u2019ve come across plenty of those. It\u2019s simply because he was Prince. There\u2019s no one else like him.\u201d <\/p>\n
