[78-L] QUESTION FOR dl

[BURNHAM]

To add to my earlier posting, Keith Sandy had a program called, “Makebelieve Ballroom Time” that used THAT Glen Miller tune as a theme. 

All the ones I’ve mentioned are Toronto programs.

As was mentioned a few weeks ago, “Sargent Preston” used “Donna Diana Overture” and the “Lone Ranger” used - (now what WAS the name of that piece?). I think the Lux Radio Theatre used the finale of Swan Lake. In the late ‘50s, CFRB had a program called “Music in HiFi at 10PM that played the end of “Marche Slav” as a theme, and either CHFI or CFRB had a classical show that used  “My life is Love and Joy”. Later, CHFI’s overnight classics show used Rachmaninoff’s second Symphony slow mvt.
