Al Caiola and Tony Mattola play the two guitars that supplement Mathis' crooning, with an upright bass providing the album's only other instrument. Producer Mitch Miller is often associated with gimmicky or novelty productions, but his work on Open Fire, Two Guitars is perfectly understated, emphasizing the gentle caress of Mathis' voice over the relaxed counterpoint of the two guitars. This is my farewell Jam. To all who have followed me, and to those I follow, I thank you for the Likes/Loves, your comments, and your jams as well. My best to all. Thank you Matt & Han.

The lyrics are unusual in that they do not rhyme. John Blackburn, the lyricist, has been quoted as saying, ""After completing the first 12 bars of the lyric, I realized there was no rhyme and then said to Karl, 'Let's follow the pattern of no rhyme throughout the song. It seemed right."" The lyrics are also metrically interesting in that each verse (not counting the bridge) is a haiku (poems written in three short lines). The song is considered an unofficial state song of Vermont and is frequently played as the first dance song at Vermont wedding receptions. It was first introduced by Margaret Whiting in a 1944 recording, and has been covered by numerous other artists over the years.

Josephine Baker danced to it in her return to America in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1936, but neither she nor the song were successful. Two years later, however, bandleader Artie Shaw recorded an arrangement of the song, an extended swing orchestra version, in collaboration with his arranger and orchestrator, Jerry Gray. Ella Fitzgerald had the ability to personalize some of the most recognizable material from the foremost songwriters in American popular music history.

This album contains the music which Henry Mancini composed for the most recent Blake Edwards motion picture production, ""Experiment in Terror."" It is no exception to their rule. The music reflects the dramatic characteristics of the picture: it is tense, suspenseful, thrilling and modern. To achieve these effects, Mancini exercised a great deal of ingenuity and versatility in the composition of the music and the selection of the performing instruments. The main title, Experiment in Terror, is a compelling theme and utilizes an unusual instrument called the autoharp. Although the autoharp is not a regulation musical instrument, Mancini used the unique sound of two of those instruments to create an exciting and interesting theme. #HenryMancini #Halloween",35,"simonheartfield, denizenofdreams, 3rdillusion, JosRouw, JTdaniel, TreesjeB, daved, natyblooming, brianberrington, jackietheripper, dutchbeeblebrox, newley, anngross, McRaul55, BladeRunner, JanePlume, kayebalogun, xo, pozo88, shme, soorajsoman, HeyRusty, ada23, MadameZia, roamin, DavidAnderson, Bukowski, shitsterbauer, nasalhazel, misandrist, tpjdavies, robertsilvestri","nasalhazel: ""Henry Mancini is always the correct choice.""; Bukowski: ""Great choice.""; kayebalogun: ""Mancini is legendary to this very day.

It has since been recorded by numerous singers and instrumentalists. It was also used in the 1950 film September Affair, and for the credits in the television series May to December (a quote from the opening line of the song). Sarah Vaughan’s 1954 recording of “September Song” (Sarah Vaughan W/ Clifford Brown) is still the stand-out among vocal performances of the tune, with a brilliant ensemble providing the perfect backdrop for her tender vocals. ""September Song"" is based on a familiar poetic metaphor that compares a year to a person's life span from birth to death. Several songs in Frank Sinatra's ""September of My Years"", including the title song and ""It Was a Very Good Year"" utilize the same metaphor.
