This is an interesting and fun, light-hearted story. I liked that ebay, facebook, and youtube all played roles in helping this old song/musician be rediscovered.

It was an interesting read.
One recent prime example is jhoom by ali zafar.
It just blew up like wild fire after 10 years of the initial release.
wondering what feedback loop it got into!!
