Typical self indulgent playlist, I know, especially with the repeated plays of The Alan Parsons Project and Goblin.
I am a big fan of instrumental music, particularly music used as themes for local newscast 'intros' and 'outros'. Frank Mills' 'Music Box Dancer' was once used for what was then WNGE Nashville Channel 2's (now WKRN) news theme back in the 70's and 80's.
To prove that this was the case, here's a YouTube clip where Frank Mills actually performed the song live at the end of a Channel 2 newscast (played over a backing track, of course).
Note how the news anchors walk up to the piano in appreciation. Priceless.
