I’ve previously post my love of marching bands: the stories I could tell are trivial to most.
Scattered across the country – likely world – are 112 people whose story is totally legit: University of Southern California Spirit of Troy alums hired by Mick Fleetwood to for the Fleetwood Mac song Tusk. How fucking cool is that?!? How many times have they annoyed their children and grandchildren by incessantly bring it up? How many rue the standard performance contract that didn’t include royalties? Insane to think about it.
I’ve annoyed my wife whenever something brings to mind a story of my previous glory , but I – and most band geeks – have nothing compared to the fortunate chosen/hired in 1979.
