Dear Vam and Ben,
Yes, our zany music box melodies would be a worthwhile topic of discussion for Dark Shadows fans at one of the upcoming festivals. I think that the irrepressible Roger Davis would be the perfect moderator for this 'uninhibited" discussion.
Ben, In addition to the Cheers theme, would you please play for me, the theme song for my favorite show (after Dark Shadows), the one and only Gilligan's Island: "With Gilligan, the Skipper too, the millionare and his wife, the movie star, the Professor and Mary Ann, here on Gilligan's Isle." (6:00 PM - EST on TV Land is "must see tv" for me every weeknight!)
By the way, Woody Allen once said that Richard Nixon decided to run for the presidency in 1968, the same year that Gilligan's Island was cancelled. Was there some connection, Mr. Allen mused?
Here's another zany music box melody suggestion:
Maggie Evans Collins to her abusive PT husband, Quentin Collins - Don't Talk (Natalie Merchant, formerly of 10,000 Maniacs)
