The moonlight into my room

Since you’ve already got the artist, the title is _She’s Too Fat Polka_.

Since you like that, I have an .mp3 of two tubas doing Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven. Email if you desire a copy of that file. 😃

I’m editing a wedding, learning the business and learning Final Cut Pro; but it’s a real wedding. My future business partner usually uses _What A Wonderful World_ during the montage, since it’s two minutes long and everyone seems to like it. He said I could choose the music on the one I’m editing. While it’s likely I’ll follow his lead and use _Wonderful World_, I _am_ having evil thoughts of using _You Always Hurt The One You Love_ or _My Old Flame_.
