"Run-Around" by Blues Traveler.

OK, girls and boys, more 80s and 90s: This group out of Princeton, N.J. started out as a high-school garage band in 1987. They got their name from the primary demon in "Ghostbusters". During one of their early jams, a black cat snuck into their basement practice room and it became their logo. Their first hit peaked at #8 in '95, won them a Grammy and broke a record for # of weeks in the charts. Their lead singer/composer/harmonica player had a crush on the original bassist and it inspired the song. Band? Hit? Answer: "Run-Around" by Blues Traveler. Gozer "The Traveler" was a Sumerian shape-shifting god of destruction. John Popper is a force of nature on that harmonica. I love doing "Run-Around" and "Hook" on guitar. BTW, the chord progression in "Hook" is the same as Pachelbel's "Canon in D" but transposed to A major. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ousaiByU1ko https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdz5kCaCRFM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlprozGcs80 more
