Tony Cartmill Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Eric, 1. How did Peter Cetera, who prides himself on writing his own tunes (except for soundtrack work), get a hold of "IWTFT"? 2. Did you have anything to do with the Cetera/Bernard recording? (arranging/advising/playing instrument?) 3. When you were writing it, Did you envision the great harmonies in the chorus like that duo recorded? Or, did you hear it more like you recorded it? I figured you did it sans harmonies because they already recorded with. I would have loved to hear the conversation between you and Peter about that song...

Tony Cartmill Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 I just love those harmonies Crystal Bernard belts out! I wanna know if Eric heard those in his head when he wrote the music... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew C. Clark Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I think that the next Peter Cetera CD should be called "Come What May". Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 One bullet is in the chamber and I keep spinning and pulling the trigger once each day EC ignores me. So far, no "Deer Hunter" ending for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Cartmill Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Well, I first read that joke on the back of Fred's business card...Fred's got a sense of humor. So does EC...I think, hope, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Too many "Baby, oh baby"s and "Fill you up, fill you up with my love"s on EC's version. Plus, I love the harmonies in the duet. PM like EC to talk dirty to her, I guess... Geez, I guess that was the last chance to get the questions answered, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ira Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Tony I started a similar thread...Eric obviously isn't talking about the details of the "Cetera" recording."Let It Be"-Ira. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Cartmill Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Like a pesky fly in the summer heat that just won't go away, The Cetera questions HAUNT Eric like the lost loves of his youth, or the times he struck out with the bases loaded in little league, or the powerless attempts to change Marvin's opinion about "Winter Dreams"... Of course, he could exorcise one of those demons right here by answering 3 little questions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor4Life Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I'd be interested in knowing of all people, how did Crystal Bernard get involved in recording that duet?I know she had an album out at the time, ans "Wings" was still on the air. But I'l love to know the connection between Ceterea and her.I know Eric probably wouldnt know the anser to this, but just wondering anyway...Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Eric knows everything. But just like JC, EC's answers and the truth come with stipulations and sacrifices on the seeker's part. So, I vow to give up booze, porn and Gangsta-Rap if EC answers my "...Forever Tonight" questions. Well, maybe not porn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Cartmill Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Thanks.Crystal Bernard sounds like she has a great ear. I've seen/heard a couple of other duets she did. Old guys like singing with hot blonds...Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
