15 May 05 - 04:39 PM (#1485576) Subject: RE: Song from Lemony Snicket Movie From: Liz the Squeak I remember that, it was just long enough to identify it as an autoharp and that was it... if we get the DVD out soon, I'll see what I can do towards identifying it... Limpit has been badgering me for it since the film was out! LTS |

Anybody know where this song appears in the film - how many minutes from the beginning, or what scene number? -Joe- |
