Do you have any commercials from Nashville?

[rockergirl83]

I have memorized that melody front to back in the How to Beat the High Cost of Living movie. It has a cool bass line. That is one of my favorite movies ever.

@rockergirl83 That score was by the GREAT Patrick Williams who wrote Lou Grant, the old Bob Newhart, and many B and exploitation movies too. But don't let all of the commercial credits fool you. He was a great jazz and classical writer too and the bass was the most important ingredient in his writing. He also wrote a concerto for saxophonist Phil Woods. I used to have the album - lots of Hubert Laws on flute.

@rockergirl83 favorite movies ever? jeesh... dont have too much standard, do ya?

[rockergirl83]

@JessOnTheRun I think it came from growing up with a mom who liked movies that were made to air in the afternoon after soaps in the 80's. Not really lower standards, but more of an open mind.

[NewYorkRetroKing]

Is that Robin Bartlett in the One-a-Day ad?

[joebradio]
