Question

hello sir, I just got some questions about music. One is regarding an instrumental piano track, it sounds so much like ballad pour adeline but its not... I don't know the artist but I was able to catch a glimpse of it recently in dzmm's teleradyo, when ted failon played it after saying the name. mr romantiko. The last question is regarding mellow touch's you are the minstrel bumper, was that song an original piece composed for the station or was it a revival... and do you have a copy of the tune...Thank you so much, much respect sir.  

Answer
Dear Noril,

Sorry but I have not listened to DZMM for a long time now. Sad to say, I have never heard of Ted Failon paying that song.

As for the Mellow Touch bumper, I believe it was an original composition commissioned by the Mellow Touch. They may have used existing music in the past but this one sounds original. The voice who performed it is similar to the late RICHARD TAN. For the record, they have also used in the past as "jingle" GOOD FRIEND by MARY MacGREGOR & THEME FROM THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS (NADIA'S THEME) by PERRY BOTKIN, JR. & BARRY DeVORZON.

Maraming salamat po!!
