lyrics

But eventually I would have to get on an aircraft
Fly south look at all these designs and colors
Uh to see how well they matched under different
We had a light box there which showed daylight
It’s ah fluorescent you all different possibilities of lighting
So you’d have to make your best judgment
As to the closest one for the customer
Yeah so uh you I’d fly back and show it to the customer
And they’d either say yes or no and then you’d get on the phone and say
He wants it a little greyer or a little blue-er or a little redder
Or whatever you know
So it was required a good and a and an understanding
Of what the customer is getting at
Initially when I was with the company for the first few years
We were in a ehm what I would call a shirting and dress
Lightweight cotton blends type business
You know and we’d make what they call plaids and checks and so on and so forth
It wasn’t florals or prints or anything like that
That was because Burlington was such a diversified company
They had different divisions for all of these other aspects of textiles

When a number of years had passed
Ehm because of market conditions
This division was merged into another division
They had a more diversified range so I had to learn you know
They had to teach what you call piece-dye
Which would be plain dyes just a range of colors on different fabrics
They would’ve had a print division as well

Eh but the one I was in because of my background see don’t forget I went into
This without a formal college degree in textiles
I was just there hoping to get you know say a year or two out of this particular thing
I wasn’t looking for a career
But in the latter part of my um years with the initial company
They sent me to FIT for and I went to night school
So I did some study on the more technical aspects but
This new division I went into had different requirements also
I really just fit into the niche they had for me
And ehm it was still classified as design that kind of thing

So ehm then I’ve forgotten quite the sequence of years
With that particular oh I know before I went to that other
The piece-dye division
Ehm we had merged with the denim division
Because they just ehm you know they were cotton oriented
See our mix would be cotton blends and eh they would’ve been
Levi would’ve been and HD Lee would’ve been customers of ours for certain things
Shirtings and you know all different things
So when ehm we merged with the denim division
They were you know bigger customers of ours
