I've used websites in the past to make ringtones and then text them to my phone. I can't remember which one I used though.
Got a folder of mp3s just sent my way with a bunch of great calls from Schnoz and Wheels and the trumpets if you guys want em
Of course I do. I used to have the trumpets on my phone, two phones ago. I have no tech skills and have no idea how to get it again.
For the longest time I was sure that I'd heard this before I ever knew of the Trail Blazers; but I couldn't remember where. It really bugged me. I knew it was some Australian Sports or news show from my childhood, but I could never find it. Until now. It was the closing theme for Nine Sport, and Nine's Wide World of Sport in the late 70's and 80's. That clip enabled me to find out that the song was written by Brian Bennett from The Shadows. It's called "Capital City" and is track A1 on the KPM album 1177 "Hot Wax". Here's Brian Bennett in a 2010 presentation in Australia because another of his songs has been used for Australian cricket since 1977. I think the Trail Blazers should organise something similar.
Wow. I was told that the team had found two different songs, and put them together. I wonder who had it first, the Blazers or that TV show or NFL Films?
Wow, I've never heard the entire song before, sounds like the theme song for a 1970s cop show. Hey @Orion Bailey and @HomerLovesKoolAid you guys need to listen to this.
Given that this is the 50th anniversary of the Portland Trail Blazers existence, I think it would be a fantastic idea to honour the composer of the Trail Blazers theme song by flying him to a game, and having a presentation. @THE HCP Will you please raise this with Trail Blazers management, and make this happen before it’s too late (Brian is 79)? mailto:web@brianbennettmusic.co.uk https://brianbennettmusic.co.uk/
Thanks SPD. Because of Brian’s link with both Trail Blazers basketball, and Australian cricket, I feel very passionately about honouring him. The sheer number of cover versions of the Trail Blazers theme that exist, indicates to me that others feel the same about the song, thus would feel the same about honouring the man who composed it.
