 Anyone know this song?

I have always loved the clarinet intro to the "This Old House" tv show. It is such a great clarinet solo, would love to find it somewhere so I could play it. I've always meant to record the show so I could try to figure out the notes and play it myself. Anyone know the name of this tune?

See http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/tvprograms/tohclassics/faqs and look for the section on the music.

Remember, Google is your friend:

"this old house" theme song

"Louisiana Fairytale" (with the clarinet as the solo instrument) as heard on the show, comes from this album:

Wow - thank you so much. I never knew that was anything other than the "This Old House" theme song. Awesome. I just ordered it. You made my day.

Wow, thanks guys! I figured that I wasn't the only clarinet "dork" that would want to know. Not that anyone here is a dork, we're just dorky when it comes to our clarinet obsessions, lol.

I don't know why I didn't think of the Google search, other than I didn't know the name of the song, but now I did one and even found sheet music for it! Here's a link with the music. Enjoy!

The music in your link is in the key of D.

The song, as heard on the show, is in the concert key of Bb (Bb clarinet plays in the key of C) ...GBK

Yeah, I realized that after I posted it, but figured that if someone really wanted to play it, they could transpose.
