A short track I made with Brian Wilson in my heart this evening: https://soundcloud.com/sconser/let-go-of-your-ego-its-time-my-tribute-to-brian-wilson

His compositions and harmonies informed my musical worldview from the very start, and never gave up their influence.

As promised, the new 80s kids song is coming out THIS FRIDAY; and today ... I have A CLUE for you. 🔎

The title of this song was the theme chosen by the student prom committee for my high school prom — I think it was senior year?

But there was a controversy. Because at the time, there were two popular songs that shared this title, and it was an open question which song was the real inspiration for the prom theme.

🕶️ NEW 80s KIDS SONG DROPS FRIDAY 🕶️

I realize I might have said this before, but I really do think that this next #80sKids song might be my fave so far. Maybe it's just that each new song @hilljam & I do is so dang fun that it captures my heart in the moment — but my love for this one is strong. 💪🏻♥️

If I had a convertible, I'd put this one on loud with the top pulled down, driving along the beach at sunset on summer break. Let the countdown to Friday start ... now.

Anyone have a guess??
