I notice there isn’t a lot of the actual performance? Banjo and synthesiser is always a tough call.

One of my favourite Country recordings was done on a Moog apparently https://www.discogs.com/master/331353-Gil-Trythall-Switched-On-Nashville-Country-Moog https://www.discogs.com/master/331353-Gil-Trythall-Switched-... The other ones are atypical for Country (no cowboys in sight) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGIUtLO_x8g&pp=ygUWbWluZCB5b3VyIG93biBiaXNjdWl0cw%3D%3D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGIUtLO_x8g&pp=ygUWbWluZCB5b... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZfj2Ir3GgQ&pp=ygUea2FjZXkgbXVzZ3JhdmVzIG1lcnJ5IGdvIHJvdW5k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZfj2Ir3GgQ&pp=ygUea2FjZXkgb...

  Interesting, this Gil Trythall piece is the tune in the Commodore C-64 game "Thing on a Spring", isn't it. I didn't know that was a pre-existing piece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeRP8rQ-07I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeRP8rQ-07I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhkFF0c-gUo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhkFF0c-gUo

    Is it one Gil Trythall piece in particular? I'm browsing the album and can only find quite casual resemblances. (Album sounds fabulous btw.)

      Yakety Moog, https://youtu.be/qp_b-TkkR4I https://youtu.be/qp_b-TkkR4I Maybe I'm hearing more into it than there is, and I'm not a musician. Still it's the piece closest to the Thing on a Spring tune that I've heard and I would be surprised if Rob Hubbard (who is said to have written the latter) didn't hear this one before composing his. But who knows. Maybe they are just both in the line of some classical country music pieces including rhythms (I don't know much about country music), and share the use of synthesizers for it, but also the daring attitude, change of sound from part to part, and the pitch up (however you would call that) bits.

IKR? I was like, cool, a little folk diddy and then this monster synth will appear. Nope!
