Hi! What was the name of the music used with this video?

G'day SonnyBoyMa,

Took me a while to locate the music, but found it. It is a track called 'Beyond Thunerstorm' (although I think that should be Thunderstorm) from a very old Martin Lass record. I think the record was called 'Bach to the Future' but I can't be sure of that. Hope that helps,

Dane.

possibly I think kids today who live at home are so petted pampered and otherwise spoiled that they can't do without

homeless kids of course simply dont have the option

sorry if I got on my soapbox

[roverp4driver]

You are quite correct. But it is not just the kids! We are all becoming too soft, and as well as that we are letting the 'Nanny State' take over.

OMG that brings back memories told to me of early rail travel in wooden non air-conditioned carriages

[roverp4driver]

Thanks for the comment, flammabletube. I have not ridden on a train in recent times, but believe that as we used to manage very well without airconditioning, why is it so essential these days?
