The unusual percussive effects in this song were achieved by stuffing the piano’s soundboard with felt, and placing microphones deep in the instrument. Frahm’s original intention was merely to dampen the sound of the piano so he could play at night without waking the household.

This song was recorded in February 1963, less than a month before Patsy Cline’s death in a plane crash in Tennessee. Today would have been her 84th birthday.
Love Letters was my mother’s favorite song, though I think she preferred Pat Boone’s smarmy 1957 version. Must have been the whistling.
