Ep. 5 - Fell Off A Mountain

"Fell Off A Mountain" was the debut single from Big Bam Boo. Written in my Plaistow, East London house in 1987 where Shark & I wrote every Sunday creating what was to become Big Bam Boo. Every song had to pass the "spaghetti test". In this month's Story of the Song I talk about the writing process, the way we got our record deal, and about the video shoot in Nashville & Alexandria, Tennessee. This song story was requested by super-fan Eric Miller - thanks Eric - I hope it tells you what you wanted to know!Unfortunately I only ever had the video on a VHS cassette and when I transferred it to the computer many years ago, I didn't have a proper capture device, so the quality is very poor. Add to the fact that for this podcast I've had to reduce the size to fit the vertical resolution. You can watch the video in a larger format on my YouTube channel under the Big Bam Boo playlist, though I'm not sure it will look any clearer! I did however replace the poor audio quality of the VHS with the CD audio for the version in this podcast.
