My friends, the fifth annual Lost & Found Music Madness tournament is upon us and set to begin later this week, so make sure you're paying close attention to this page for further details. In the meantime, there are some loose ends from last year's tournament that I have to tie up first.
If you're familiar with how Music Madness works, then you probably know that it ends with the champion receiving their One Shining Moment on both radio and social media. The radio part of the coronation has always happened immediately after the finals, but for the past two years now, I've neglected to share the news publicly on Facebook until just before the beginning of a new tournament. (I really must break from this tendency before it becomes a concrete pattern.) So, in case you've forgotten, let me officially remind you now that the winner of Lost & Found Music Madness 2024 is...BILLY JOEL!!!!
In my defense, I couldn't find a video I wanted to share until several months after the end of last year's tournament, but I still should've posted it here as soon as I found it. Then again, given the recent news that Billy has had to postpone some concerts due to medical concerns, it seems like now is an ideal time to allow the Piano Man his One Shining Moment on social media so that it might lift his spirits, not to mention those of his many fans as well. So, without any further ado, I give you the defending Music Madness champion, captured live for television several years ago. Many apologies for the long wait, but I have a feeling that a lot of us are in the mood for a song like this right now. 🏆 https://youtu.be/VufNUJwg6pw?si=SsvpAHbVr7OB-DfH
Once again, don't forget to check back here in the next few days for updates on the 2025 edition of Lost & Found Music Madness!! (Oh, did I mention there's something new and exciting being added to this year's tournament? 👀)
and I would not be here now if I never had the hunger.....
