RE: Personal reminiscence (Was RE: (TV) A Manic Night)



Two chords. A and D.  It is easy.  That's not what I meant by "even".

What's the "even" about? I'm too musically ignorant to judge for 
myself, but from a personal memory I was under the impression that 
"Breakin' in My Heart" is fairly simple musically. For my 21st 
birthday, some of my friends organized a small surprise party and got 
a few musicians we were friends or friendly with to play at it. 
During a break, we put the then-new "Tom Verlaine" LP on the record 
player, and when "Breakin' ..." came on, the musicians picked up 
their instruments and started playing along. I seem to remember one 
of them saying that was easy to do because it was all one chord (or 
perhaps two).

Incidentally, the guitarist at my party was Bob Bannister, who later 
had a band in New York called Fire in the Kitchen, and who is now 
Bibi Farber's brother-in-law.

None of this is to suggest that "Breakin' ..." isn't a great song - I 
love it, and I know Bob is an admirer of TV as well as RL.
