[GreenKeys] TTY machine in music

[Jack Hart]

Before I moved from NY to Kansas City, I had license plates

on my Hummer (H1-the real thing) that said "TELETYPE".  I was at the
recycling center

one Saturday and a guy came over and asked me about the plates.

Seems he was one of the backup singers on Don Henley's

"DIRTY LAUNDRY" and he remembered them simulating the sound

of a Teletype in  the background (I don't think it was a real TTY).

 

By the way...the song "EASIER SAID THAN DONE" by ESSEX

was based upon the "beat" of a TTY switching center where the

singers worked when they were in the Army.

Just noticed in this version of Don Henley's Dirty Laundry, at least three
segments of what sounds like a M-15.
