We are certainly getting a good mix this time from over the pond !!! which is great thanks John !!...now music from the movies seems like they are all composed by "John Barry" who I believe wrote most if not all of the "James Bond" movie themes and a lot more !!!...I remember the theme tune of a BBC programme called "Juke Box Jury" that had a very distinctive introduction theme tune called "Hit And Miss"....perhaps the title doesn't mean much to many folks but if you heard it you would immediately recognise it !!!....Anyway enuff of my prattle !! on with the show !
