    1980's: My goodness O' how I miss those days. Friggin' theme songs from 1980's tv shows is better than the average pop record out today. Composer: Johnny Mandel is a genius. The brother on keyboard did an EXCELLENT job as well.

      Thanks so much! Actually, I recreated the background music on the keyboard, previous to the recording, and played the synth on top. I love those '80s themes!

    Great rendition of the early 1980's sitcom Too Close For Comfort starring the late Ted Knight! I like the extra sound effects from the Piano Keys sound like bottles of glass using Xylophone. Keep up the great work Mr. Darius Witherspoon. Take Care, Phil
