Percy Faith and his orchestra playing "Delicado."

Yes, this music was the background to a certain scene in a recent Netflix movie.

Another excellent song by Bob James, "Nautilus," actually became one of the most widely sampled songs in hip-hop:

-Since I've Been Loving You- Guitar Cover by Ayla

Nearly 50 years ago this song was the showcase song for one our lead singers. This 15 year old Canadian girl is a far better guitar player then the two guitars players we had.

Wow, that kid is really talented.

That was four years ago. She just turned 19 last month. And, others have recognized how talented she is:

RAY DALIO was on NPR just now but I missed it. (Cat wanted a drink from the sink).
If anyone finds the audio, maybe you can post it, here. I’ll look for it in the afternoon.

That video clip is hilarious! Bill Murray would be going nut if he sees it.

If anyone, for whatever reason, has to read Pride and Prejudice in the future for a class, I found a very faithful TV miniseries adaptation online.

This has made understanding the story arc much easier. Although I do still prefer the zombies version as per below. Fight scenes make ANY movie better!!

No Grammy for him.

Looks like he has been in quarantine for quite some time (based on his hair).

I think the image is of Louis Le Grande Dauphin. That said, I always wondered where bow ties originated.

Some bass for Dualstow (along with an excellent female guitarist):

Adam Schlesinger, late of Fountains of Wayne and fountains of coronavirus, wrote the song That Thing You Do, from the eponymous movie. You can hear the similarities with their song Stacy's Mom, especially in the backing vocals.

Love both the movie and the song. I can listen to the song at least five times in a row. After I finally finish doing so, I'll listen to that other song.

I did listen to "That Thing You Do" as I predicted I would. I'm now on the four listen of "Stacy's Mom". I'm surprised I'd never prior heard it.

I'm not hearing any similarities at all.

"That Thing You Do" succeeded in making it sound like it WAS a hit song from the 60s.

"Stacy's Mom" seems to have it roots starting with the Cars (early 80s) and continuing with the music somewhere into the 90s.

I'm going to put both songs in front of the former vocalist in our band who is a great analyzer of music to see what similarities he hears.

Vinny

The guitar effects in the Wonders songs sound like the synth effects in the Fountains song. The backing vocals harmonization. and their usage are similar. Nobody did backing vocals like that when Stacy's Mom came out. The vocal reverb is similar. It sounds like the Wonders song was recorded on old equipment (or, old effects, it was filmed in 1999), which gives it that vintage vibe.

It was a great movie.

By the way, one of my favorite songs, by Brand New, is strangely appropriate for the Wuhan.

The fever, the focus
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell
Die young and save yourself
The tickle, the taste of
It used to be the reason I breathed but now it's choking me up
Die young and save yourself

It's also a beautiful music video.
