Trombonology Erstwhile

As hip as the quartet version of the Pipers was, the original octet was still further ahead of its time. In interviews, Jo and her husband-arranger Paul Weston discussed how the concept behind the eight voices was to split into pairs of four that could function like reed and brass sections playing off each other, as in a swing orchestra. ... Their "That's why I ask the stars in heaven high above" line is modified slightly from the original Porter lyric to musically quote an ensemble passage in the Artie Shaw orchestra version of '38.

Darryl C Preston

Erstwhile: One of your old favorite songs from way back then has just been posted on The Prof's 45RPM site. you can never hear it too many times!

Trombonology Erstwhile

@Darryl C Preston Bobby Vinton's "There I've Said it Again," right? I don't know if I've ever mentioned this in our conversations, but my first musical love, the stuff of my first musical memories, is the pop/R & R of this period. After years of listening to what my siblings, between 9 and 14 years older, listened to, I went further back and discovered my parents' music! The sister closest in age to me used to wake for school to a Detroit station known as "Honey Radio," which played roughly '56-'63 oldies, so I'd heard plenty of Bobby Vinton by the time I was eight. ... Thanks for reminding me of Prof's other channel ... subscribing!

Trombonology Erstwhile

@Darryl C Preston I hadn't gone far enough through the latest uploads -- I just discovered Nino & April's "Deep Purple" and realized instantly that you meant that one. I was never a Vinton fan, although I did think "There I've Said It Again" was a respectful treatment of a great old one (my parents' "song," from the Vaughn Monroe record). "Deep Purple," though, is in the stratosphere!

Darryl C Preston

@Trombonology Erstwhile This is great! Without any malice aforethought [for once], I've been able to witness you create, and then attempt to solve a mystery. Well, you haven't solved it yet; and, if you don't, I'll eventually ID the elusive song: But, I have great faith that you will come up with it.
Before you began your pursuit, I had already handed you the solution on a silver platter, so to speak.

Trombonology Erstwhile

@Darryl C Preston Aw, geez ... I must appear to be one of the most obtuse people in the world! ... "Hello, Dolly!" ... duh! Talk about creating a mystery -- when you threw in, "silver platter," I searched the channel for, first, The Platters and then silver . It wasn't until I reread your original post that I got the lyric clue. Maybe it's because I always think of myself as a Music first-lyrics second person that I didn't catch that easy one. ... Such bumbling in the dark must be painful to witness!
