SH Spotlight "Cecilia Ann" by the Pixies, yes, I wrote & recorded the song as The Surftones with my buddy Frosty

Enjoy!

 

Surprised a lot of people. But nothing can beat the surprise Frosty and I got when the Pixies chose to open their album with it!

 

I was asked, I answer: What guitar amps were used on CECILIA ANN?

As mentioned in my first post, we used one guitar amp to record CECLILA ANN. My friend who worked at MCA Records by the name of Jeff Traintime had his amp at my apt. so our oldies band "Quagmire" could jam once a week. A heavy sucker so he just left it there all the time.

It was a 1960's Fender Blackface Twin with two JBL 12" speakers. We used this to record Frosty's bass guitar and lead and my rhythm, both on my G&L beater guitar.

I put the mic near the amp and let it blast. But, not too near, I wanted a bit of "room" in there...

Hope this helps.

So there ya go.

 

That's nice, someone must have revised it. Like I said, we recorded the song for the good of the SURF LEGENDS CD, Frosty and I never in our wildest dreams ever imagined what would happen next.

 

I was asked, I answer:

"Cecilia Ann" is based on (and named after) Sicilienne for cello & piano, Op. 78, by Gabriel Fauré.
