The changes of this 1931 tune were borrowed exactly for a very popular tune 35 years later .
Can you guess what the 60s tune was ?

( Start 50 seconds in , after the intro . )

The other night I was idly musing over chalices and blades , grails and lances , guns and roses , cups and cones , keys and locks , crosses and roses..... ( that sort of thing ) when the lyric " beyond the rim of the starlight " popped into my mind .
Somewhere I have a book of film and tv themes that I got in the 70s which has the lyrics , but rather than find it I looked them up on t'internet .
Which led me to the wiki pages ;

and Bing Crosby's first solo No. 1 ; [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_Nowhere_%28Johnny_Green_song%29"]https://en.wikipedia...y_Green_song%29[/url]

When I got back into playing music again (piano ) after 25yrs five years ago I chose the Star Trek theme as a first DAW experiment because I liked the harmonic progression and I thought it would be a fun choice for messing around with synths again , plus the book was near the top of the pile at the time , so the changes and lyrics were not too deeply hidden in the memory vaults .

Nice changes . Johnny Green also wrote " Body And Soul " .
