AUDIO: Houston TV news theme music for the past 20 years

It's no secret I like the Bayou City History blog, although find it amusing a guy out of Columbia, South Carolina is writing it.

J.R.G. lets us know about a resource where you can listen to Houston TV news theme music for the past 20 years (KTRK, KPRC, KHOU, KRIV, KTMD...etc). Many of you might not know this, but there are people out there who collect and trade these songs.

It's a great nostalgic trip.

Did you know that Eyewitness News used the score from the movie Cool Hand Luke? It's actually called the Tar Sequence. That's not for just KTRK, but ABC stations across the country. More trivia, Cool Hand Luke also was the movie where the opening speech in Guns N' Roses' song Civil War came from. Odd.
