no sound

Does anyone know the name of the theme song to this series? The Shazam app can not identify it.

[@lesliedycke9795]

That song is more than a hundred years old and was played on a player piano. I have no doubt that shazam won't have it on file.

@@lesliedycke9795 A player piano roll makes sense. Any idea of the name of the piece or how you reckon it is over a hundred years old? It's a catchy tune, for sure, but I've never seen it credited at the end of these episodes. I've had fairly good luck with Shazzam being able to identify old recordings of Jazz, folk, blues, etc, as long as the recording made it into their data base.

@@tpxchallenger I'm not sure how you could find out information on the music. I'm certain Bill Barlee knew but I'm not sure his wife Katherine or family have any information on that still. Yes, it is a catchy tune.
