The intro seems to me to be written for sitar though, and I would like to hear an English horn, a fifth lower, or now even a lupophone an octave lower, playing the melody starting about 1:30.

No More Tears. That was fantastic! I’m gonna look to see if I bookmarked it. Thanks for this post..a timely tribute to California 🤗

I'm going to have look that one up. I've watched a bunch of the School of Rock videos. Some are great some maybe not for me but the talent of these kids is impressive no matter what.

Under School of Rock Ozzy

and it's hard to choose between this one and M&P.
This song will probably stick in the recesses of my brain, in my auditory cortex, forever!
It used to be a reoccurring earworm for me for no reason that I could figure out. At least it's a nice one!

It's been a recurring one for me since I was a kid. That's why I had to check this video out when it first showed up on my Recommended Videos list on YouTube. Glad I did. It hooked me enough I had to write a whole article about it, well mostly about the singer of this version. (shameless self promotion)

I hadn't heard of the School of Rock (company), but now I can learn about it.
