This 78 is at least 60 years old. Don't ask why it's here...I grew up with it and like it.

20 years ago I had a Yamaha Clavinova and MusicSoft disk of Christmas music. The arrangement of Silent Night was unique and appealing. I always regretted selling the Clavinova, primarily because I no longeer had access to that one song. I looked everywhere for a recording without finding it, once as recently as this last Christmas (2009). Today I found a CD that came with a Yahama MIDI keyboard...

The big final number for Annie is relatively brief but featured some cute choreography of the orphans imitating reindeer and pulling FDR's wheel chair around the stage like Santa Claus. Of course, without video that does not come through just from the music, but starts at about 1:07 with the "clip clop" of wood blocks percussion.

The Terry Gilliam version of The Adventures of Baron Munchausen was scored by the late Michael Kamen. His Munchausen theme is represented in the Original Soundtrack LP in segments that I have used to create this suite from the main theme of the film.

The musical was presented at the Guy Mabee Civic Center in Temple, Texas 5 times during the second week in April 1988. To facilitate the needs for day to day presentation the entire computer system, a...

This is a 10 minute suite of Georges Delerue's soundtrack music from the unusual love story Joe Vs The Volcano. Delerue primarily used 2 tunes to score the movie but there are many variations throughout the film. This particular suite is one of 3 similar one's I've assembled over the years. It is the one that is most appropriate for listening on Valentine's Day. It's simply beautiful music, whi...
