"Birthday"

I listened to The Beatles yester-day and noticed what might be a bit of Buddy Holly's influence on "Birthday."  In the section starting at ~1:27, the piano seems to move between the musical foreground and the background via some sort of effect.  This is very similar to the drums in Holly's "Peggy Sue," which seem to move back and forth (particularly at the beginning) because of different amounts of reverb.

Last night I figured out some of the guitar parts for "Birthday" from The Beatles.  I think the bass part plays the same thing (just an octave or two lower), but I haven't really lookt into that yet.

I doubled-tracked what I recorded, which I'm not sure is entirely accurate, but I thought it sounded better.
