Ed,

Because I saw the movie a while ago before its general release,
my memory is a little fuzzy on the tune. I think it was "Stranger on the
Shore," a number made popular by British clarinetist Acker Bilk several
years ago. If I'm correct on that, Bilk didn't sound too different from
whoever played in the movie.

Can someone verify my recollection or correct me on that?
