  6. "Asia Minor" is a 1961 #instrumental recording by #JimmyWisner (operating under the name Kokomo so as to not alienate his #jazz fans). It is a #rockAndRoll adaptation of #EdvardGrieg's "Piano Concerto in A Minor", using #shellac on the hammers of a cheap piano so as to induce a #honkytonk sound. He was turned down by 10 labels and had to release the track on his own label Future Records. The song became a hit, reaching No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

    A trio of really slick, vastly underplayed songs from the original Valley Girl soundtrack (there's also a follow-up soundtrack adding another 16 songs). Give these tunes a listen and enjoy. Also, if you're in any way into the movie or the valley-adjacent songs of that era, both soundtracks are absolutely worth exploring.
