8:30 Weather Report

[rickmoraz]

Friends, Romans, Countrymen and Prog-nuts, lend me a few minutes of your time...

I know a mission impossible, and a weird one at that, when I'm faced with one; but in view of the incredible musical encyclopedic knowledge abounding in this site, I was wondering if any of you could tell what's that vaguely Tyrolean, alpine Swiss-type of song that's on the radio tape at the start of 8:30 (the song) on both of the Weather Report live albums 8:30 and The Legendary live, etc....

This would be highly appreciated by an elderly Swiss lady who hasn't stopped pestering me about it since.....

They used to open with Bolero... Maurice Ravel's lovely (and quite famous) piece ... before coming on stage back in those days, i believe...

it might be a variation of Pietro Frosini's Coquette Polka like this one

I could see "0.26666666666", but "0.354166667"?

At any event, I see there's a new release coming:
