The June 7 Instrumental Invasion on WCWP was recorded over three days: hour 1 on April 13, the first segment of hour 2 on the 14th, and the last two (plus a pickup) on the 15th. An additional pickup was recorded on May 24.
The playlist was created on March 26, tweaked on April 1 to swap in a Keiko Matsui song. Annotations came between April 3 and 6 with talk break script drafted on April 9 and 10. I was 18 seconds short, so I padded out my outro with the “Blue Birdland” reprise from the end of “The Maynard Ferguson Hit Medley” that I referred to at the top of hour 2.
I got the idea to play “Sister Marian” by The Square (not yet T-Square) after Game Dave reminded me to remind his Twitch stream viewers (in the chat) what it inspired: Koji Kondo‘s Super Mario Bros. [overworld] theme.
For comparison, here is “Sister Marian”…
…and the overworld theme:
I referred to Steve Somers for the second week in a row when I came out of Dave’s liner with “Game Dave knows and I know…”
“7 and 7” by Paul Brown was the only retread this week, first heard last October 19.
