Subject: Crimson suspenders!
I don't suspect this subject was covered in the dead threads, and I didn't
see it in the FAQ's, so I'm gonna be bold and ask...who's saying,
"whew...my, my," in "Easy Money" (directly after the two allsorts that occur
after the line "crimson suspenders" on LTiA)? Is it obviously Wetton? Did
Belew perhaps take this as a cue for his many recited songs? In watching
the video release called Yesyears, I've become accostomed to what Bruford's
voice sounds like, and maybe that could be him...after all, he was the one
who blew the whistle on LTiA, so he does know how to have a little fun
during recording. Add to that his partnership (almost apprenticeship) with
Muir, and you've got a good case for why Bruford could've wanted to accent
that weird ripping, stretching sound after the "crimson suspenders" lyric.
Or I could be totally wrong. Thank you for reading this, if you are, in
fact, reading this.
