I liked this tune because of The Xylophone solo; That made the tune stand out for me. You don't see that often in any era. I'm glad I get to hear it again. Thank You!

I was about 10 years old, my family and i were traveling to South Padre Island, Tx. My dad driving, me next to my dad, and my uncle next to me and the rest of my family stuffed into the backseat. This song comes out on the radio and someone int he back "subale" to pick it up (volume). I gladly did. This song reminds of the beach since then. Great memories.

I love videos like this for exactly that reason. Starbuck and so many other bands from the era were professional musicians. Not that they got paid but professional in the true definition of the word. Not only were they masters of their craft, they were were creative, played with passion and the joy of performing a finely written tune. Many of them were also stunningly ugly. Still others were plain at best. We now have music performed by supermodels, and that's exactly what it sounds like.

Kick ass tune and these guys are from Atlanta, GA. GO BRAVES! Being a drummer the marimba part is well executed. If Neil Peart was the drummer, he'd play the marimba part along with the drums for all you Rush fans (like myself) out there. Thanks for sharing as it brought back good memories listening to the tune.

God, this song brings back memories. The summer of '76 along Hood Canal and Whidbey Island. I was fourteen and that summer was magical. (Okay, call it corny. That's how I remember it.) More than any other song of that summer, this one brings back those wonderful memories. What the hell happened since then?

No such thing as corny when something to you is magical. I was 15 and believe me, it was far from corny and still is far from corny. It was a time in our lives that was special and sweet. Hold that close forever because it's left us in the blink of an eye, right?

I was 13 when this hit the radio. My junior high band director was a remarkable guy named Stan Moore. I heard he ended up at the University of Indiana. Anyway, he called it a marimba as well and insisted that the entire percussion section knew how to play it. You're the man, Stan.

This was a great song and was definitely keyboard based with a touch of synthesizer and was not a typical southern rock song. And sometimes it's hard too remember band names and songs. And You tube is great for helping people rediscover songs from the past. I always loved a song called "NICOLE". and never knew the artist until I checked on you tube and discovered the band Point Blank. Check-em -out....
