Quite a few years ago – bride and groom INSISTED on the “Pink Panther Theme” as the bridal march – seems they had met on a blind date and gone to that movie – since it was that special, I suggested they use a tape of the real music for that part, and I did everything else – it was a bit of a jolt as the last bridesmade got to the altar to the Canon on harp and then suddenly da da –da da– dat da
just saw a piece of Suddenly Last Summer where Katherine Hepburn is descending in the elevator – looks like an old Erard sitting in the background – –
According to imdb, the composer for the films’ music was John Addison who I checked out in Wikipedia – turns out he has quite an impressive
Robert Maxwell’s arrangement of “Sheherezade” – I have it and could fax it to you although you are getting pretty close to “showtime” –

Hi there – well, you are in luck – Gloomy Sunday (which has quite a history if I remember rightly – Billie Holiday song – seems like Dorothy Ashby may have recorded it on one of her albums) is part of a batch of sheet music on ebay this week – put “gloomy sunday sheet” into the ebay search and you will get it – (I LUV LUV LUV ebay – its’ about the only reason I ever got started with computers – LOL)
Wanda – I am sad to hear about all Beth’s sorrows – it is way more than just a bad day and right on up there with tragic – we all have to deal with such issues at one time or another, and yet, it seems for some folks it can become overwhelming – I do hope that she has people around her that are able to understand and comfort her and help
