OK, OK. Stupid title, I know. But it IS Super… Super Mario Brothers. Surely everyone remembers this game? I do. I clearly remember sitting in front of the TV playing Super Mario on my nintendo. (Here’s one on Ebay if you feel a need to be nostalgic. )
We’ve used this tune as an Encore several times and really have a good time playing it so, I thought I’d share a recording of our last attempt. We got this arrange from our Friend Calvin Smith. Calvin and his son Jeremy (percussionist at Julliard) put this arrangement together and it’s pretty good. I’m not sure everyone could find the perfect spot to put a piece like this on but, we tend to throw it in any time a program is a little heavy on the serious side. In fact, at our last show down at TN Tech, Sean introduced it as a piece written for King George II, I believe.
If you listen real close, you might be a ble to hear a little 17th century “beat-boxing” going on there…
At any rate, here for your Sunday listening pleasure…. SUPER MARIO BROTHERS.
