| Jim in Merced CA Mon 5/5/2008 1:23p | Wow, I'd love to hear that original 'Horizons' song by The Sherman Brothers. Anyone have a link to it? |

| plpeters70 Mon 5/5/2008 2:49p | Look for the Horizons Ultimate Tribute video by Martin Smith. I believe you can find it on the Mousebits torrent site - you just need an account and a browser that can download torrents. (The Opera browser supports them.)
Speaking of Martin, he has the most amazing videos available for all of the classic EPCOT rides - his Horizons, World of Motion and Universe of Energy videos are a MUST SEE for any EPCOT Center fan! |

| danyoung Mon 5/5/2008 5:06p | OK, I'm an old guy who needs more info. What are torrents, and what is the site that Martin Smith runs? I'd really love to see those videos! |

| Jim in Merced CA Mon 5/5/2008 5:22p | I searched around the site in question...
http://www.horizons1.com/media.htm
Couldn't really find the Sherman Brothers song. |

| plpeters70 Mon 5/5/2008 5:45p | Torrents are a way to share files - basically like the old Napster. You get the file from lots of different users. Anyway, get a torrent client, or browser that can automatically download torrent files. (I like to use the Opera browser.)
Then go to this site:
http://www.mousebits.com/
Get an account and follow the instructions on how to download the files. Look for the file "Horizons Martins Ultimate Tribute.avi" for the Horizons video. You can also search on "Martin" to find all his tribute videos.
Let me know if you need anymore help! |

| plpeters70 Mon 5/5/2008 5:46p | By the way Jim, I'm not aware of any audio recordings of the old Horizons song - I've just heard it in the intro section on Martin's video. Hope that helps. |

| plpeters70 Mon 5/5/2008 5:50p | Oh Jim, I just checked that link you sent, and the file at the bottom of the page labeled "Horizons Ultimate Tribute" should be the same file that I have. The song starts at about 4:50 min - but you should really check out the whole video! |

I just sent you my e-mail address via your website. I just might be able to help you in your Sherman Brothers quest... |

| Jim in Merced CA Mon 5/5/2008 10:47p | I'm hearing it now! It's sort of awful, isn't it? :) It sounds like a cut song from a failed Broadway musical. The tenor is hilariously bad.
Thanks for the instructions plpeters70. |
