  • Bard ... Tell me the story about how Sam Phillips got Elvis Presley to

    From Steve Mc@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 6 15:43:35 2024
    Sam Phillips was always looking for new ways to push the boundaries of
    popular music. He had a vision for Elvis Presley to be a star, but he
    knew that he needed to create a sound that was unique and exciting.

    When Elvis and his band, Scotty Moore and Bill Black, came into the
    studio to record "I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone," Phillips had a
    new idea. He wanted to add drums to the mix.

    Elvis was hesitant at first. He was used to playing in a trio, and he
    didn't think that drums would be necessary for this song. But Phillips
    was persistent. He argued that drums would give the song a more driving
    beat and a more modern sound.

    In the end, Elvis agreed to give it a try. Phillips brought in a local
    drummer named Jimmie Lott, and the three of them recorded the song together.

    The results were amazing. "I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone" was a
    hit, and it marked the first time that drums had been used in a country
    song in this way.

    Phillips' decision to add drums to the song was a turning point for
    Elvis' career. It helped to create the unique sound that would make him
    a global superstar.

    Here is a more detailed account of how Phillips convinced Elvis to use
    drums:

    Phillips told Elvis that he wanted to add drums to the song to give it a
    more "modern" sound.
    Elvis was hesitant at first, but Phillips argued that drums would make
    the song more exciting and danceable.
    Phillips also pointed out that other artists, such as Chuck Berry and
    Little Richard, were already using drums in their music.
    Elvis eventually agreed to give it a try, and he was pleasantly
    surprised with the results.
    The addition of drums to "I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone" was a bold
    move, but it was one that paid off. The song was a hit, and it helped to
    pave the way for Elvis' crossover to mainstream pop music.

    Phillips' decision to use drums in this song was a significant moment in
    the history of rock and roll. It helped to create a new sound that would influence generations of musicians to come.

    Total bullshit as this was recorded in like March 1955 a few months before Chuck's first record and like 8 months before anybody knew who Little Richard was.

    Of course "I'm Left You're Right She's Gone" had already been recorded earlier (perhaps as early as November 1954) in the much slower,bluesy "My Baby's Gone" first version of the song

    The new and somewhat improved version of Bard is called Gemini. But I
    prefer using Microsoft Copilot, because it has footnotes. It actually
    gives you the URLs of where it got its information, which Bard/Gemini
    does not. I find this very useful--give it a try.

    BTW, I think that if you start your query with "Tell me a/the story,"
    the chatbot may understand that as a request to be entertained. If your grandchild says "Tell me the story about..." they don't care if it's
    fact or fiction. So I would avoid the word "story." Just a guess.

    Copilot also suggests/offers two or three related follow up questions
    you can select from. For example: after asking Copilot (or Designer)
    to give you a picture of a Sherpa (four smallish pictures will be
    created), one suggested follow up question is "What is a Sherpa", and
    if you select this, the answer will offer yet another follow up
    question "What is the history of Sherpas".

    From MS Copilot you also have access to Designer, which can *create*
    photos and images from text instructions or requests.
    Three other specialized areas are: Vacation planning, Cooking
    assistant, and Fitness trainer.
    You can ask any question within Copilot itself, or first click on one
    of these four specialized options to make clear your area of interest:

    *Designer*
    Create any image you can imagine

    *Vacation planner*
    I can help you discover new places, create itineraries & help book
    your travels

    *Cooking assistant*
    I can help you find recipes, create meal plans and get cooking tips &
    tricks

    *Fitness trainer*
    I can help design exercise programs & educate on nutrition, health &
    wellness
