Can you help me identify these tunes?
on: June 12, 2012, 08:04:46 PM
Hi! Do you know this piano song? It plays at 7:33 on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWqFaGwNCMU&feature=related
Oh, and do you happen to know from where does my attached music come from?
And last but not least, do you know this piano tune? It starts at 4:11 on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZVnAT9P_tk (It's a greek comedy video, hope you don't mind!  :D )
I know I'm asking for too much, but any help would be greated appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Jim

That second one isn't Chopsticks, unless it's a section of Chopsticks I'm not aware of.  I've heard it before.  I'm looking....

Dang... I know what it's not now.
