The 9/25/12 entry — The Fickle Fingers of "Fate" — includes a photo of the original document Guaraldi sent to validate his copyright of the song, complete with typed lyrics that are about as clear and plain as one could hope for. I hope that satisfies! :-)Derrick Banghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12885694730612878577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4051519380220252201.post-14010027484394352492014-01-12T12:17:28.810-08:002014-01-12T12:17:28.810-08:00I badly want the lyrics written by Vince Guaradi f...I badly want the lyrics written by Vince Guaradi for Cast Your Fate to the Wind published clearly and plainly on this or any website. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Am I out of luck? It is a favorite song and signifies starting anew with independence with full expectation of a happy ending, unlike Ms. Werber's lyrics.ChrisStevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09378527686365769780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4051519380220252201.post-43237590733935969242013-07-21T14:23:08.699-07:002013-07-21T14:23:08.699-07:00 Does anyone know how I would get in contact with ... Does anyone know how I would get in contact with Carel Werber. I am doing research on a book that I am writing.

A few quick thoughts:<br /><br />As I recall from the interview, Carel didn't know Vince particularly well. (During the interview, she pronounced his surname "jur-aldi," rather than with a hard G sound. In your experience, have any of his family or sidemen ever pronounced it that way?)<br /><br />I agree with your telling observation about the lack of any mention of Carel or lyrics in Frank Werber's circa-1963 "Anatomy of a Hit" interviews. To my mind that indicates a later date for the lyrics, and underscores their role as, at best, a compositional afterthought. (I confess to not thinking too much of the lyrics and, consequently, am not a big fan of any of the vocal versions of "Fate" that I've heard. In my book, nothing compares to the instrumental original.)<br /><br />The thing I remember most about Frank Werber's "Anatomy" interviews was how pointedly he suggested that Vince was being mismanaged and having his commercial potential thwarted (a thesis all but confirmed by the relentless buffoonery and amateur patter in the Max Weiss/Saul Zaentz scenes in the film).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16464366578313213457noreply@blogger.com
