   My mom's grandfather was a fiddler and I guess he must've finished every   
   session with Over The Waves.   
   A couple of years ago my mom, never having known the name of the song that   
   she always   
   associated with her grandad, went searching for the tune.  She must've gone   
   through   
   a dozen fiddle CD's when she finally found it playing on the sound system in   
   a little   
   folk museum in West Va.  She was just tickled and she brought this CD home   
   to my brother who promptly announced that he new that song and if she'd just   
   hummed   
   it for him he could've told her it was from.............Saturday morning   
   cartoons.   :)
