I hope that if Linda isn't able to make it to the induction in April (she says she probably won't, but then again...), that she will do a pretaped message and thank A.G. and all the other guys she worked with. I'm pretty sure she will at least do the message, because she has always been known for her unbelievable generosity with those she's worked with, among all the other things.

I think Linda has more than made clear her feelings about and her intention of (not) attending this event.

Nice article. The writer definitely got it right about the guitar sounding sinister, although didn't Linda say (Stone Poneys band mate and 70s band mate) Kenny Edwards (after his death) was the one who came up with the song's arrangement, including the sinister and Beatleish guitar? True, Andrew played the guitar but it was never specified on the rhythm and vocal arrangements on Linda's records who was responsible for what, just the strings and (when and where heard) the horns and woodwinds. Andrew was an incredible guitar player and multi-instrumentalist and until I saw Linda's comment on Kenny, always thought it was Andrew who had came up with the guitar parts. Pity the records never or rarely included credits for the arrangements on the rhythm and the vocal as one should never assume this person or that person was responsible for a particular sound on a record.

Nice to see Andrew getting his due, thanks... small note.. his guitar tone was described as 'sinuous'...

Nice to see Andrew getting his due, thanks... small note.. his guitar tone was described as 'sinuous'... Actually, the article said "...the record's atmosphere is sinuous to the point of being sinister." It didn't actually say it was the guitar but I've always thought Andrew's guitar playing had a dark and sinister sound throughout much of the song, save for the ending, where the song's mood changes from dark and sinister sounding to being like one of light. It was Linda's most unique record as I don't think one could point to another record she did on which the instrumentation (mostly the guitar) conveyed two different moods like that. |

Quote by sliderocker:
What I think gives it an added charge, and perhaps its sinister sound, is that it is in a minor key (B Flat Minor, to be precise); and Linda's output of songs in minor keys is quite small, which makes it stand out even more (IMHO).
