Stairway to Fremer

Stairway to Fremer
(To the tune of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven") There's a lady who's sure all that glitters are tubes And her name sounds just like EveAnna Manley,” When she gets to you she knows, if the record stores have all closed, With some valves she can get that RIAA curve, Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh, and she's buying a stairway to Fremer… httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkF3oxziUI4 There's a sign on the wall, says no 45s but from Music Matters, 'Cause you know sometimes Blue Notes do sell out again (with new numbered editions, just like Classic Records, as they do spin to die), In a tree by Steve “not Jobs” Guttenberg, there's a Stiped songbird who sings, “It’s the end of the world as we know it (and I feel like coffee).” You know There's a feeling I get when I look to the West And my spirit is crying for sushi In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke from my Quads And the voices of those who stand laughing (That's you, Corey,) And it's without a Doshi 2.0 – if we all call on these tubes – Then the piper will lead us to NHT And a new John will dawn for those who stand along with Hi-Fi+, etc., And the forests outside Huntingdon will echo with ESL-57s Remember Goldmunds? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah... And it makes me hungry for tacos If there's DeOxit on your spades, don't leave it there, use alcohol to gently remove it, baby, It's just a high-frequency clean for the new Audio Desk Systeme PRO Yes, there were two paths you could go by, VPI and Nitty Gritty, But now it’s all about the new Audio Desk Systeme PRO,

Your preamp is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know, Because you really do need that ground wire, Roy Gandy, Dear Mikey, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind (beside the Döhmann Helix One) And as we spin on down the road (it’s The Wiz with old audio dudes) Our shadows taller than our Infinitys There walks a lady we all know (it’s EveAnna Manley again…) Who shines blue light and wants to show with a very high bias, How everything still turns to Litz silver, And if you anneal it very long The tune will come to you at 33 and 1/3, When all is one and one is TAS, To be a rock…and not to roll, oh yeah And she's buying a stairway …to Fremer…
