Aahhhh to be 20 years old again in the early 80's. The memories it brings back of my college days at Texas Tech University. Listening to my 8 track tapes of Spyro Gyra and Chuck Mangione --Feel So Good as I went home on weekends in my '75 Buick Regal my dad bought me for school. God, I miss the 80's and those days. Love and Peace everyone.

In high school in the late 80’s I pulled together a group of fellow musicians and attempted to learn/perform this song for a “solo & ensemble” contest. I spent a month getting down this marimba solo! Then when I pulled everyone together just a couple of weeks before the contest, I found that only half the members had learned their parts! We sounded AWFUL. It was then that I realized “it takes a LOT of work to sound that good.” My hats off to Spyro Gyra for developing this cool jazz sound; they make it sound so effortless. Always my “go to” group when I want to chill.

On this day in 1979 {September 4th} Spyro Gyra were guests on the nationally syndicated weekday-afternoon television program, 'The Mike Douglas Show'... At the time their "Morning Dance"was at position #33 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, two weeks earlier it had peaked at #24 {for 2 weeks} and it spent fifteen weeks on the Top 100... And on July 22nd, 1979 "Morning Dance" peaked at #1 {for 1 week} on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart... The Buffalo, NY band had three other Top 100 records, "Shaker Song" {#99 in 1978}, "Catch The Sun" {#68 in 1980}, and "Cafe Amore" {#77 in 1981}... Band leader and co-founder Jay Beckenstein celebrated his 68th birthday four months ago on May 14th, 2019... Sadly, three members of the band have passed away, bassist Jim Kurzdorfer {1947 - 2011}, drummer Ted Reinhardt {1953 - 2015}, and vibraphone & marimba player David Samuels {1948 - 2019}... May all three R.I.P.
