Little blurb in Guitar World, July 2003
Guitar World
July 2003 Lindsey Buckingham Guilty Pleasures A few of his favorite things. by Vic Garbarini SONG: Theme from "A Summer's Place" Percy Faith Percy Faith's Greatest Hits (Columbia, 1960) "I remember being a kid and doing things with my family after dinner as this played on a portable radio. The melody is simple but beautiful, and a little schmaltzy. It still moves me, partly because I'm connected to how I felt about it as a kid." MOVIE: City Lights Directed by Charlie Chaplin Imagine Entertainment, 1931 "I'd always thought of him as the little tramp with the sped-up walk. It took me a while to get on the wavelength of his old silent movies, but I was in awe of this movie and the number of sketches in which the detail and invention are so rich. It blows me away." BOOK: Chaplin His Life & Art by David Robinson McGraw-Hill, 1987 "I read this not long after I left Fleetwood Mac in the late Eighties. I was looking for the strength to move forward. Chaplin took many aspects of his creative process in his own hands and fought to get things done the way he envisioned them. Plus he constantly reinvented himself. His example gave me the courage to get myself going again."

Oh, I just got a little image of him in my brain. I can see him just sitting there in the dark watching Charlie Chaplin films and laughing. What a sweet image.
I think the one thing about him that I also find so appealing is that you can tell he has a sense of humour...he is very tongue in cheek and also just but what he likes...he's lighthearted. I think 20 years ago you couldn't say that, I guess 1987 WAS a survival move and if he stayed, maybe he'd still be so bitter and taking himself so seriously. Don't ask me how I got into all THAT from that blurb, Im sorry! Thanks Les.....again.!

I LOVE LINDSEY!!!!
THANK YOU LES!!!!!
SONG: Theme from "A Summer's Place" Percy Faith Percy Faith's Greatest Hits (Columbia, 1960) "I remember being a kid and doing things with my family after dinner as this played on a portable radio. The melody is simple but beautiful, and a little schmaltzy. It still moves me, partly because I'm connected to how I felt about it as a kid." That is one of my favorite pieces of music as well. I loved it as a kid too and growing up (and still to this day), I wonder why no ice skaters have skated to it (maybe it's too short?), because it's just GORGEOUS!! One thing I love about Lindsey is the fact he loves ALL KINDS of music...we go from Percy Faith to Eminem to Talking Heads!!! He is an eclectic music lover....like myself.

The "Summer Place" theme music is a mossy evocation of the 1950s, when it was written. It seems to resonate similarly with a lot of us. It's schmaltz that we can't forget. It was one of the first pieces of music I ever played on the piano. The composer, Max Steiner, a Hollywood movie music dean, was an expert at writing melodies that insinuated themselves into your brain, despite your better impulses. He wrote the "Gone With the Wind" music, among many others. |

The live Center Stage version is the definitive version of that song IMO....where he fully sings (i.e. not hum!) that Theme from A Summer's Place....and that final note he magically sustains for what seems forever....awesome stuff! |
