Good afternoon to all.
I have had the occasion to use this analogy twice today, and all too many times recently. It thus bears comment.
The last song on side 1 of Sergeant Pepper is "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite." At about 1:00 of the song, there is a musical bridge. In that bridge is a swirling musical sound that is difficult to describe.
George Martin worked very hard to get that sound. Numerous things he tried before that just did not work. Where he finally settled was to tell the recording engineer to take what had been recorded, cut it into little pieces, throw it in the air, and then splice it back together.
I have used this analogy in describing my impressions of the impact of today's presidential election on US society.
The good news is this: this song was my favourite on that particular album for many years.
Good luck, Mr. Kite.
Have a good day everyone.
