JF : “Wine and Roses is mistitled, it is actually The Red Pony. Well, okay, but why was it mistitled on the album? And is The Red Pony named after the novel by John Steinbeck?
Lee Gardner: According to Fahey, swinging soundtrack composer Henry Mancini deserves a nod for inspiration for the opening Wine and Roses, a moody minor-key testament to the powers of syncopation. After hearing Mancini’s Days of Wine and Roses on the radio, Fahey tried to play it from memory later and came-up with this tune, which he later retitled The Red Pony. (from the notes to the reissue of The Dance of Death)
