I've been following a EweTube channel called "Professor of Rock", it's almost as good as Rick Beato, but no music theory. Today my feed had a One-Hit Wonder featuring a blazing marimba solo; I knew what song he was talking about, could even hear much of the solo in my head, but the rest of the song was not in the ol' brain cells anymore.
So I watched the video:
Its a bit long, the first half discusses the song, and the second half was just a bunch of stories from the writer/singer on how he got it on the radio, and its a fascinating discussion. Back in those days I didn't pay too much attention to lyrics, I was more an instrumental guy, but this song has some really great lyrics, and I'm glad I ran across this story. Enjoy!
Oh, and he was asked, towards the end of the interview, what was the "Golden Age of Music"? He said, "From the start of Jr High to about two years into college"; I'd almost agree perfectly, but extend the end point another six years or so.
