Koop is on holidays at the moment so another of our Cocktail Nation Twilight shows  this week  this weeks show came about in funny way I was cruising around Sydney and for some reason my ipod got stuck in alphabetical order and every song was a theme and it took me a while to notice and when I realized what happened I knew that this was a sign of what show I should produce for you. So this week a all tv theme show from the fifties sixties and seventies. and I have an interview with two of the most prolific theme composers.
