Memories. Went fishing in a quarry one day back when I was 10 and this song was circulating on the airwaves and remember riding my bike back home with this song groovin in my head. Great xylophone solo. Summer fun
Summer of 1976! Hell of a good year for me. 2 hot blondes to date and shag. Bicentennial celebrations all over USA. 45¢ a gallon gasoline 109 octane. No auto insurance mandates, or seatbelt laws. Much more free time than now. 65¢ Arby's roast beef, Big Mac, whopper, Jumbo Jack. 5¢ a scoop ice cream at Thrifty's in a cone or cup. Yup, America was still great. And this classic song playing in my 1961 Chevrolet Corvair while driving down the freeway. Never to return. Glad I lived it.
This is one of those cases where the song was literally my memory. Growing up my grandmother owned a beach house on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, a couple of miles north of the Bay Bridge. I remember having dinner with the radio on and seeing the moonlight glimmer on the top of the Chesapeake Bay and listening to this song. Loved those evenings and having a great song about seeing monight glimmering on the top of the Chesapeake Bay.
@@davidmcdonald11 I first heard this song on WGH in the Hampton Roads area when I was a student at then-Hampton Institute. Then heard it the rest of the summer when I returned home to Brooklyn NY (on 99X (WXLO))
Bruce told the story of how this song came to be: it involved a women he met at college who turned him down for a date twice before accepting the third time. Bo Wagner rocked on the Marimba (not xylophone) and drove the women crazy with his tap-dancing routine... When Bo was ten years old he was a TV guest on the Original Mickey Mouse Club as a featured drummer and tap dancer...He also, in the early 1970's, worked as a studio musician in Los Angeles, appeared on The Lawrence Welk Show for three years and toured with The 5th Dimension, Roger Williams and Liberace. I worked for Starbuck's Lighting dude, Larry, and saw them live several times before going to Navy Boot Camp... Some memorable gigs were at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton and the Toys For Tots concert at the Omni in Atlanta... The guys were all great people...
Everyone in 76 loved this song.

Alright Austin Powers, calm down..,,.. hehe
Nothing better when your a senior in high school driving around on a hot summer night and this song came on the radio.
❤❤❤
Muy bonitos recuerdos los de 1976 allá por Col. El Mirador de San Marcos, San Salvador.
The moon will send me on…..back to the 70’s🙏👍
I have this record, In my Disco collection , I saw Starbuck in 1976 , In Sioux City Iowa Iowa at Morningside college in concert.
One of the most smooth and sublime tunes to come out of the late 70’s… and a xylophone virtuoso to boot( or are those Vibes?).

the guy that plays xlyphone on this song was out of mickey mouse club back in the day 😁👍
Marimba, Marimba, Marimba!!!
I defy you to find a 70's soft rock tune with a better marimba solo in it?
Fleshlight…feels right 😂
