Welcome, nedstuart!  And thanks for the info.  I moved the event to tomorrow's date on the calendar. btw.

He posted a few other upcoming alumni appearances on Tim's message board at http://mrjuggins.aimoo.com/-- Joan Bennett on Gidget Gets Married, Dennis Patrick on Coach, and John Lasell on Twilight Zone.  Select the Dark Shadows board, and look for the topic called "Dark Shadows Actors appearances for the month of May 2005".   

I remember noticing that the early Josette's theme was different from the later version.  I wonder why they had Farnon compose it originally instead of Cobert?

 I hope Farnon's version will be included in MPIs CD music box set when they release it.

Hi, PennyDreadful.

Farnon didn't write it for DS.  I've never heard the reason it was replaced with Cobert's new but similar theme after the story shifted to 1795, but perhaps once it became evident that the music box theme would be used again in that storyline, Curtis preferred to not have to continue paying a royalty each time.

IIRC, Farnon's version is heard on DS for the last time during the Dream Curse.  I think Sybil Weinberger simply grabbed the wrong cue.

Because the rights to the first version were owned by Farnon, it's not on any of the DS albums.  Farnon's version can also be heard in a Prisoner ep, btw, that was broadcast the same year it showed up on DS.  But it's not on any of the Prisoner soundtracks either, though other compositions by him are.

I remembered coming across a fan page a few years back that had both versions and offered to try to find it for Bette.  I'm amazed that it's still up, and that it works.  This was put together by DS fan Graeme Cree.  Enjoy!--
