Schubert?!? (Maybe the middle movement, which does not sound quite like anything in the Ponchielli piece, is Schubert's... can anyone name the original?) BTW, another Sherman parody, "Here's to the Crabgrass," seems to be based on an Old English Morris Dance... the reason I mention this is that the two pieces (excerpts from the classical originals) appear near the beginning of the John Thompson 2nd grade piano book and I sometimes wonder if Allan (or someone in his family) was taking lessons out of this book when the tunes gave him the idea.... -- ------------------------------- Disclaimer: The views contained herein are | dan levy | yvel nad | my own and are not at all those of my em- | an engihacker @ | ployer, my pets, my plants, my boss, or the | at&t computer systems division | s.a. of any computer upon which I may hack. | skokie, illinois | | "go for it" | Path: ..!ihnp4!ttrdc!levy -------------------------------- or: ..!ihnp4!iheds!ttbcad!levy
