Simon and Garfunkel's song The Boxer, from their Bridge Over Troubled Water album has a very unusual percussion in the chorus. I just found out why: it's either 1: A heavy chain being slapped against a concrete floor in a warehouse, the mike far enough away to let it echo, or 2: a snare played on a high rise building in 7th avenue in New York.
Go Hal Blaine.
Holly loved this song because of that percussion.
ReplyDeleteThat's what first got me into Simon and Garfunkel: Holly playing that song for me.
