Almost 2 years ago, my drums were set up for the recording of what would eventually be the March to Midnight EP, but I was having a lot of troubles staying motivated. Life kept interfering with my creativity, so I needed to take a break from the project and find other ways to occupy my time. One of those ways just happened to be figuring out how to play the Main Theme from Super Mario 64.
The song is SO catchy, and upbeat, that I couldn’t stop playing it! When a song gets under my skin like that, I HAVE to record it! So I did! But did it stop there? ABSOLUTELY NOT! I sifted through the entire soundtrack to the game—which has always been one of my favorites—and found myself feeling exactly the same way for the rest of the music. The drums were set up, so I thought to myself, “Why not just do a big ol’ medley?”
It only took me about 2 days to put it all together, and I couldn’t be happier with the end result! Each riff is so fantastically written that I can’t stop playing them! Even now, 2 years later, I have my acoustic guitar on my lap (literally as I type this), and I feel compelled to write about how much I love playing it!
