  • Summary

  • A Radio Owlsnest Halloween Special - The Making Of “Ghostbusters” With Martin Page and Brian Fairweather. I had only been in LA for two weeks with my “Q.Feel” songwriting partner, Brian Fairweather, when we unexpectedly found ourselves in a valley studio with Ray Parker, Jr., recording the iconic smash, “Ghostbusters”! We’d gone to Ray’s studio to say hello and present ourselves as songwriters when - out of the blue - we suddenly found ourselves playing on a track he’d just-that-minute written for a movie … Brian on electric guitar and me on a cheap Synthesizer. What was this strange thing we were contributing musical parts to - what the hell did “Ghostbusters” mean? We hadn’t planned for this at all … Ray went to lunch and said, “you guys just do your thing; I’ll be back later”. So, for two hours, we laid down overdubs on this strange creature of a song. Ray came back from lunch, loved what we had played, and a few weeks later the song was number one in the American charts and the movie Ghostbusters was becoming an instant classic. Both Brian and I didn’t know what had hit us … or quite what had just happened; it was a whirlwind of the strangest, but most wondrous kind. So, to honor Halloween, Brian and I got together to record this Radio Owlsnest podcast special, “The Making of Ghostbusters”. We attempted to remember the details of that odd day when we went innocently along to introduce ourselves to the great Ray Parker, Jr. as young songwriters, and ended up somehow being musicians and improvising on one of the most renowned and loved hits of our time. It’s a crazy, bizarre story, but that’s perfect for Halloween, isn’t it? Enjoy! Martin and Brian.
