14 Apr 05 - 05:24 PM (#1461469) Subject: Theme Song for TV Show 'Evening Shade' From: 8ch(pl) A number of years ago, Burt Reynolds had the TV Show, Evening Shade" for a few years. During the first season or 2 the theme song was a lovely waltz tune played on violin. Does anyone know the name of the piece? I played it from memory lastnight on mandolin and it has peaked a bit of interest with a fiddler in our folk group. I would like to find the music for it. Thanks. Glen Simpson |

Seems there were lots (or some anyway). |

While the school is still open, this year it was consolidated with the Cave City school district just down the road. Governor Huckabee and the legislature in their wisdom have seen fit to close all Arkansas schools with less than 350 students by combining them with nearby "partners", willing or unwilling. What the long term outlook for the school is, I don't know. I guess we'll see in the coming years. Evening Shade never had a football team, one of the main premises of the TV show, and neither did Cave City for that matter. So the big matchups between the Evening Shade Mules and the Cave City Cavemen had absolutely no basis in fact. Evening Shade's athletic teams are the Tigers; their basketball teams do play in the Burt Reynolds Gymnasium, which was built with donations from Burt and other cast members and the sale of Evening Shade cookbooks. Volume I is sold out but you can still buy Volume II from the Evening Shade School http://eveningshade.k12.ar.us/cookbook/index.html At least this all bumps the thread back up to the top. I'll ask around about the theme as linked by Brucie. |

I had assumed it to be a traditional American tune, but I guess it is only as old as the show. Theme for Evening Shade must be it's title. Thanks all for the interest you have shown |

Honey See the Funny Little Clown. Burt asked him to write a theme. That is who wrote and sang the last version for the last season. Bobby has been a great songwriter/singer and blessed Dothan recently with a show just for us. |

I really enjoyed working on the show and am pleased to see people still remember it - a great cast! CSG |
