Mystery Tune Answer
Yesterday’s post generated more than the usual amount of interest, however, nobody guessed the name of the tune or even where they knew the tune from.

When I was going to New York City fairly frequently during the 1970s and into the early 1980s to see Broadway shows, concerts, and operas, the city was going through one of its worst eras.
