Know what’s amazing about the NES back in the 80s? If you were a player of that system and I asked you to name every game you ever owned, you could do it. If I were to ask you to hum the theme song to Mike Tyson’s Punch Out, you could do it. If I asked you to spit out the secret code that gets you unlimited lives in Contra, remember? Up down up down……I don’t even need to go over the rest.
NES has a special place in my heart so whenever I get to hear or see something that reminds me of that youth, it’s awesome. I’ve heard a million renditions of the Super Mario Brothers theme. I’ve heard the Zelda theme played on instruments I can’t even pronounce. However, I think it’s safe to say that I’ve never heard the 1986 Castlevania Vampire Killer theme played on a banjo before.
And boy do I have to say it’s awesome. I really hope this guy continues back on the banjo track and keeps coming up with these beauties.
