Your Wednesday Moment of Words Fail Me: Special And Schroeder on Piano Edition
Buddy Holly's "Fools Paradise." In true stereo at last, as nature intended.
This is actually my favorite sort of obscure Holly song -- I hope to cover it some day before I die. Not to get morbid, or anything.
Vi Petty rocked. Go to Clovis and see the Petty Museum. Muy cool.
Sounds like a squishy, swishy fan remix to me. I'll take the mono original, thank you.
VR - Our husband just gave us a grand to blow on clothes. That'll be easy. Wait till he sees what we got him. A Pajama-Gram with the girl included. Not kidding. She comes on Christmas Eve to tuck him in and put the X back in XMAS. Then off to Zicatela. Surf or no surf, the water's warm. Season's Greetings conocidos.
Sounds like an automatic (and artificial) stereo mix to me, too. At :40 in, I can hear a brief bit of phase cancellation, resulting in a momentary dip in level. But this remix also moves Buddy's voice out front, which is nice.
Great song! One of my many Holly faves.
ReplyDeleteBuddy is in no way over-rated.
ReplyDeleteDelightful!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a Holly fanatic but I've always liked this song, never more than when I just learned it was Schroeder on piano. A great line, Mr. S.

Dave -- thanks, but I cannot tell a lie; stole the line from a Facebook buddy.
