Funny Girl
Ando leyendo estos días Funny Girl (2014), del británico Nick Hornby. El libro va sobre una comediante y la exitosa serie de la BBC que protagoniza, a mediados de los años 60. Pero, como buen melómano que es (uno de sus libros es el famoso High Fidelity), el autor no puede evitar las referencias musicales, que siempre me gusta encontrar en las novelas. Aquí va una de ellas (página 106), de cuando los productores de la serie buscan una sintonía para la cabecera:
Ron Grainer had asked a record producer called Shel Talmy at Decca Records to recommend a session guitarist, and Talmy had told him to use a young man called Jimmy Page. Under Grainer’s supervision, Page played Miles Davis’s ‘So What’ in a sort of blues band style, and it sounded terrific, Dennis thought.
