Vermont One Shining Q & A Most famous song in sports today was a life-altering event for Ann Arbor resident David Barrett I By Jim Weber Daily Sports Editor ~orty-fiour thousand people will pack the Alamodome for tonight's NCAA Championship and nearly 50 million people across the country will watch the game aired on television. But, unlike the ending of other sporting events, people in attendance won 't leave their seats and those at home won't flip the channel. Players, coaches and fans across the country have stayed tune for a teary-eyed goodbye to March Madness since CBS starting airing a post-game montage in 1987 featuring the song, "One Shining Moment. " Its composer, David Barrett, is an Ann Arbor resident and lifetime Michigan fan. Barrett is currently at the Final Four, but took time to discuss the song's history and sig- Barrett nificance with The Michigan Daily: The Michigan Daily: How did you come to write the song? David Barrett: Fact is, it's a long story, as most songs are. The short version is that I was performing in a club and sat down and was talking to a waitress about how wonderful basketball is because I was watching ESPN highlights of Larry Bird. And she wasn't much interested, but I thought, "Well, there's an idea for a song" and next day, sat down and wrote it in 20 minutes waiting for a friend of mine to show up. TMD: How did it get to CBS? DB: My friend, Armen Keteyian, who now works at CBS, but at the time worked at Sports Illustrated. And I just happened to send it to him, not with the intention that he'd take it anywhere. But fortunately for me, he did. He took it to all the networks, all of which called me, but I chose CBS ... The guy from CBS was a wonderful guy and I liked him. TMD: Was the song specific to college basketball, is that why you chose CBS? DB: No, I just chose it because I liked (the guy that called from CBS) and it seemed like a better deal for me - and he was gracious and understanding about what I was doing. It was a good fit. TMD: What was it like the first time you heard it on CBS? DB: It was like being hit by lightning. TMD: How did it change your life? DB: It changed my life in every possible way - not only with the song becoming something I never could have dreamed of, but it led to many other doors to open as a composer of scores, songs for a variety of purposes; to just writing songs, to writing songs for the Olympics or writing songs for the PGA or writing songs for PBS specials, it definitely opened the door. TMD: What are you doing at the Final Four this year? Do you always go? DB: No, I don't, but I'm taking my family this year. I wanted them to experi- ence what this is, which I recommend to anybody. It is an amazing, wonderful event and my family had never done it, so I decided to take them to it. TMD: Do people know who you are down there? DB: I think it's fair to say it's an area in the world that people know who I am and know what I do, yes. TMD: So do people stop you and ask for autographs? DB: Well last year they did, but this year I'm going more incognito. TMD: How did you end up living in Ann Arbor? DB: Well, as one that has done a variety of different jobs as a musician and a writer and a composer, I realized that, with the advent of digital, you can make great recordings no matter where you are. And I lived in Chicago, spent endless months and weeks in Nashville and New York and L.A., and frankly, didn't care for them. And I'm raising a family and I realized if you aren't in New York, they don't care where you are. You may as well be in Ames, Iowa. My wife and I have family here, we love Ann Arbor, so it made sense for us as a family deci- sion, and I can do my work no matter where I am. TMD: Are you a big Michigan fan? DB: I am. TMD: What are your thoughts on a jingle for Michigan's NIT Championship? DB: Well, I'll see if the muse strikes me, but I think those kids, even better off, would be to hold out the prospects of hearing "One Shining Moment" next year. TMD: Who do you like winning the whole thing? [Editor's note: interview conducted prior to Saturday's games] DB: I think you have four equal teams, and I'm pulling for Duke because I'm a big fan of Mike Krzyzewski. But in watching all the teams play, it really boils down to who gets hot. It's sad if you have a powerhouse, and midgets around them. You have four very equal teams in talent. I went to the NCAA salute dinner and all four coaches spoke and they are all class acts. That's why these programs get here. And having said that, in my judg- ment, Tommy Amaker is part of that classy cloth that these guys are cut from. So whether it be next year or the year after, Michigan is going to be there soon. TMD: Have you gotten to know a lot of people in basketball through the song? DB: Yeah, I know Coach K, and to call him a friend - Coach K has more friends than (former President Jimmy) Carter has liver pills. But I took my daughter up to meet him yesterday, and I'd seen him at another event at the beginning of the season and we were talking and he said, "Well, it's going to be an interesting year." And I was kidding with him last night because it was a very interesting year for Duke, so I know some of them - Tom Izzo, some of these coaches. And the coaches know the song, for heaven's sake. TMD: How are you going to experience "One Shining Moment" this year? DB: Well, they show the montage on the big screen in the building, and everyone stays and watches. So I'll be standing right there, watching what they are doing this year. TMD: What do you think about CBS doing things with the montage, like making the ball streak with the use of a computer? DB: I'm not in a position to decide what they do, but they've asked me and I've voiced being more of a purist. I like the action (of game footage) to keep your interest, because it will do it by itself without all the bells and whistles. That's my opinion. I think they are moving away from the bells and whistles and back toward just letting play speak for itself. ~TMD: What is your favorite moment in NCAA Tournament history - the "One Shining Moment" if you will? DB: I would say there are two of them. I would say (Indiana guard) Keith Smart's shot in '87, which was the first year they played it. Again, here I am at some bar with some friends, going, "Oh yeah, I heard it is going to be on here soon," and it turned out to become what it has become. So that was an amazing moment. And when Michi- gan won in '89 - that was terrif- ic. And I will add one more. When Mateen Cleaves broke down and bawled like a baby while watching it at the game - that was pretty amazing ... He was in the building when they played it on the floor, and he and Izzo broke down with joy. And to be part of that is pretty amazing.
