  • Create a soundtrack. I HAVE to download this music.

  • :) I'm glad you like it so much! I'm afraid I don't have the rights to the music in this movie which isn't mine, so I wouldn't be able to create a complete soundtrack. "Summer Sent Me" is the only song in this sequence which I wrote and performed. Again, you'll just have to come to Chicago and see my band!

    You'd have a bit of trouble finding the Folkstones' version of "Rosin Dubh" on CD, I'm afraid. Fats Waller's "I'm on a See Saw" would be pretty to buy or steal online, though.

  • The opening music is Mise Eire (I am Ireland), written by Sean O'Riada, which was in turn based on the old Irish melody Roisín Dubh (Little Black Rose).

  • Quite so! Recorded by an Irish group called the Folkstones.

  • Sorry to be picky, but the lyricist of "I'm on a See-Saw" was Desmond Carter - Benny Carter was a jazz musician.

  • You're right to point it out! Thanks! Actually, I don't know how I made that mistake...I knew Benny Carter was a musician and not a lyricist! I guess I just don't know whether I'm here or there...

  • You're very talented. 

  • WOW this is REALLY good...

  • What a refreshing spot on the internet, which can be so electric, sudden and lacking in the very things which this film has: light, air, time, openess, and.... Thank you.
