This is my 2021 Rhythm & Blues version of a great pop song by The Lovin' Spoonful.

Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Story behind the song
A great song can be interpreted in many ways. Rather than just record a note for not copy, I decided to give it a bit of a make-over. It's essentially the same song but with a new twist.
Lyrics
Do You Believe in Magic (John B Sebastian)...The Lovin' Spoonful Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart? How the music can free her whenever it starts And it's magic if the music is groovy It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout a rock 'n' roll. If you believe in magic don't bother to choose If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues Just go and listen it'll start with a smile That won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try Your feet start tapping, and you can't seem to find How you got there, so just blow your mind... oh yeah guitar solo: If you believe in magic come along with me We'll dance until morning till there's just you and me And maybe if the music is right I'll meet you tomorrow sorta late at night And we'll go dancing baby, then you'll see How the magic's in the music, and the music's in me. guitar solo: I believe in magic oh yeah, oh yeah Do you believe in magic Do you believe in magic Do you believe in the magic in a young girl's heart How the music can free her whenever it starts And it's magic if the music is groovy It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout a rock 'n' roll. Do you believe in magic? Do you believe in magic? I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout a rock 'n' roll. If you believe in magic don't bother to choose If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues Just go and listen it'll start with a smile That won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try.

Talk about making it your own. Really rocking version of this classic. Spoonful is one of my favorite 60s bands. Love the bass line. Excellent cover.

As Steve said, very different from the original, but this arrangement and production really works well. Added it to my covers playlist.

I listened to the original and let me tell you their version is so tame compared to yours ! Love the effects and the guitar is fantastic . The vocals perfect for this and the drums are awesome ! You make the drums sound so authentic! Amazing job David !
