    This made me tear up.. I remember being like 8 yrs old and I would beg my grandma to come watch me play DK when her and grandpa visited. She would do it happily, just sit on the edge of my bed and watch me play DK without a complaint just because I was so stoked on the game and I guess she could see that and went along with it just to make me happy. Love you grams.

Moving this music to 8 or 16 bits I would say is more a technical aspect that can be resolved with the appropriate technician.

    I happened to hear you guys play this live in Detroit for the NSP acoustic tour this year and I gotta say, it was an almost intimidating moment, humbling more like, the silence of the crowd while y'all plucked and strummed away. Not even a sound, dude, but the ambience, It was a powerful energy that is going to stick in my brain forever. This song means so much to me and to many of the others out there in that crowd and to hear y'all just happen to play that live, that shit was life changing and it brought tears to my eyes, I was holding my nose the whole song holding em back. Knowing y'all were playing for your friends and family in the crowd too, you guys rocked the hell out of it. I hope I get to see you guys tour again, either with NSP again or on your own, I would to love to see your guys' full show someday. Thanks for the most epic performance in Detroit dudes, you rock!

    I've been searching for different arrangements for this song. To make it sound good on two acoustics is very impressive, the control of the shifting dynamics (like swelling and fading in volume) and the subtle nuances of the harmonics add so much depth. Excellent. The arpeggios are crisp, not self indulgent, meaning they add to the melody rather than detract, *and* they fit the tune so well. You guys seriously rock.

    Sam’s playing is a lot more ...sensual with the Bros. The tone, the patience, and the focus is so profound.
    The harmonies ring out so much deeper with two guitars, making it so satisfying to take your time between chords and let the sound drift and evaporate. So expertly executed.
    Amazingly done.

    My uncle is deaf and he always loved Donkey Kong, a game that was part of his childhood. He had an old video game that he played a lot, and I also had a lot of contact with these more retro games.
    When I stop to listen to the songs in this game, I feel sad for my uncle, who loves this game but never had the opportunity to listen to these wonderful pieces...
