      January 19 1994. Pittsburgh got cold AF but at least they had sick weather music to keep them going.

    I heard this on the weather channel, at the point it begins is roughly like 1:50 or so in, is where it started when the local forecast came up. Around 93 or so. It's on the 1993 playlists for it. After 23 years I can finally hear the whole song, If only I knew what it was then. I started looking for this in the 90s when the net began, no one was telling until recently.
    A 20+ year search complete, thankyou.

      At First Light
      Chattahoochee Field Day
      Downhill Racer
      Forever The Optimist
      Glory For Tomorrow
      Homeward Bound
      Irene
      Nepalese Tango
      Sky Juice
      Subtle Persuasion
      The Illusionist

      I agree. With how people share their archived videos of The Weather Channel, and people's memories of identification. Its the best feeling ever when you can find what you've perceived as "lost forever".

      TWC used alot of this guys music for their local on the 8s back in the early 90s, until copyright laws forced them to employ Tramell Starks to compose their own music in 1996.

    I will be sure to get a copy of some of his work to play on my smart phone, to listen to while I'm at the ski hill, I was thinking of doing a ski video with both the Go-Pro, and with the help of a videographer. Cattahoochee Field Day was my first choice for the sound track.
