Bruce: "I called my guitar tech and asked him to pick up something that would be suitable for some cheap and easy home recording. He came back with a four-track Teac tape machine, and we set it up in my bedroom in Colts Neck, New Jersey. That was where I recorded Nebraska.

I sat in a chair, singing and playing into a couple of microphones. With the two tracks left, after I sang and played the song, I could add a harmony or hit the tambourine. Sometimes I added a guitar. On four tracks that was all you could do. I mixed it through a guitar echoplex unit onto a beat box, like the one you take to the beach. They where just "demos". After that, I went into the studio, brought in the band, rerecorded, remixed, and succeeded in making the whole thing worse. Finally satisfied thatI'd explored all the music's possibilities, I pulled the original home-record cassette out of my jeans pocket, where I'd been carrying it and said: "This is it."
