Subject: 'Ziene Sur Nul' Instrumental Title?
This "bumper" instrumental is a beautiful 3/4 meter melody once used to introduce and close NPR's "The Radio Reader" in the 1990's. It sounds like harp music. The title might be "Ziene Sur Nul" (or "Ziene Nul Sur"). I may have the name mispelled. I'm not sure if the local station (where I got the possible title) added the bumper music or if the originating station of the program added it.

The melody is almost identical to the 1959 song "Goodbye Jimmy Goodbye" sung by Kathy Linden and written by Mr. Vaughn. (Label & No. Felsted 8571). I finally found that song on a Collector's Choice Music remix CD called " The Great Lost Female Teen Idols".

Does anyone have information on the origins, etc. of this instrumental.

Thanks,
Cruiser
