There is a link to an excellent MP3 of "Alla Barocco" by Giannini at this site: http://www.soundclick.com/members/default.cfm?member=shan1975&content=station&id=403184
Choose Alla Barocco by Goose Creek Bands from the page.
The title means "in baroque style", but the composer put the subtitle Folk-Rock under it. Our band would play it to warm up the crowd before basketball games and between the halves. It made a great alternative to the marches, show tunes, and baaaaaad arrangement of "Sweet Georgia Brown". (It was bad because it had been simplified too much. People kept trying to swing the rhythm like the famous whistling rendition for the Harlem Globetrotters. Mr. Frang, the teacher, kept throwing fits at us.)
One cup of lemonade, in an economy that's been throwing lemons. I think I ought to find a recording of The Boss' "Glory Days" to go with it.
