Calendar Events / Announcements '13 II / The Dark Shadows Music Book

While in the big comics and memorabilia shop I mentioned in my post in the comic book thread last Saturday, I also happened upon a reasonably priced copy of the DS Music Book, and I did bring that home with me. I don't own a piano although I think there is an app for Mac that could enable me to play at least some of the selections in the book (this may be for the iPad rather than the Macbook). The main selling point for most fans would be the rare photographs. I would imagine that nearly all, if not all of these have been reprinted again in other PomPress books since the volume's original publication in 1996.
The book is an enjoyable bagatelle to own if you are into collecting more unusual mementi from the series. The most fascinating image to me was a photograph of the cover of the actual "Ode to Angelique" sheet music used on the series during the PT 1970 storyline. The sheet music cover included a photo of composer Bruno Hess. I laughed thinking how much PT Quentin must have *loved* having that around the house.
