Did CBS Sports use it at one time?   Could be that one by ELO.

I'm thinking it was a one hit wonder and it's vaguely similar to Gun's N Roses, "Don't Cry".

mm.   I was thinking of ELO's "Fire On High"   - it has a nice acoustic riff that CBS sports used to use between segments.

Let's pretend for a moment that I'm not a musician and can't possibly know the difference. ;)

What is the difference between a classical guitar and an acoustic guitar?   Or is that similar to the difference between a fiddle and a violin- the person who plays it?

a "classical" guitar generally has nylon strings, and a wider neck. think flamenco guitar with that soft sound

acoustic, generally have metal strings, and a larger body, and a brighter sound, think 80's hair ballads.

the difference between a violin and a fiddle is that you can set a beer on a fiddle.

I guess that means you can set a glass of white wine on a violin?
