It is "Bensonhurst Blues" by Oscar Benton....the entire show (Nonko created the list at FSU) for the January 5th show was: ACT 1 "Simply Irresistible"/ Rebert Palmer / CAST "Listen"/ Beyonce / Shizuka Arakawa "Fire"/ Ima / Dubreuil & Lauzon "1000 Miles Away"/ Jewel / Yuka Sato "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"/ Monty Python's Spamalot / Todd Eldredge "Saturday Night Fever"/ Bee Gees / Takahiko Kozuka "Feeling Good"/ Michael Buble / Shen & Zhao "Hero"/ Enrique Iglesias / Michael Weiss "Anytime, Anywhere"/ Sarah Brightman / Sasha Cohen "Bensonhurst Blues"/ Oscar Benton / Alexei Yagudin "Hard Steels is Back"/ Various Artists / CAST ACT 2 "Nessun Dorma"/ Amici Foever / Dubreuil & Lauzon, Ina & Zimmerman, Shen & Zhao "Romeo and Juliet"/ Tchaikovsky / Mai Asada "Hit me with a Hot Note" / Tami Tappan Damiano / Jennifer Robinson "Nyah" / Hans Zimmer / Takeshi Honda "She's Always a Woman"/ Billy Joel / Dubreuil & Lauzon "So Deep is the Night"/ Chopin / Mao Asada "Save a Horse"/ Big & Rich / Michael Weiss "Adagio"/ Lara Fabian / Shen & Zhao "Swing with Me"/ Jessica Simpson / Yuka Sato "Handcuffs"/ Claudette Ortiz / Miki Ando "Shine on you Crazy Diamond"/ Steve Lukather / Ina & Zimmerman "Imagine"/ Avril Lavigne / Sasha Cohen "Make a Memory"/ Bon Jovi / CAST A youtube video of "Bensonhurst Blues" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU9L7qQJuCw&feature=related The music grows on me after a few plays - I have this image in my mind of a burnt out businessman with very few morals sitting behind his desk with packs of cigarettes and a full ashtray - Karenna (Message edited by Karenna on 05/01/2008 11:05:40) -------------------------------------------------------------- I follow your lead and teach the young to aspire.

	RE:Stars On Ice - Japan (Date Posted:05/01/2008 11:00:02) WOW a new program from Alexei!!! when did he find time to do that?! He's been doing 2 number's in the Russian shows - overcome and shout. I assumed those were the one's he had chosen for the tours. Both glad and sad that he is only doing 1 programme - better for his health I know. can't wait for the Youtube video's of this new program.

Now I understand why 4 or 5 hours a night of sleep was part of his schedule....

	RE:Stars On Ice - Japan (Date Posted:05/01/2008 11:10:53) Yes but you can't keep going on only 4-5 hours sleep. He should be getting at least 7-8 hours. Had a look on Youtube - no Alexei posts yet...what is taking people so long!!! However, I did discover that Shen and Zsao (I've probably spelt that incorrectly) skated to this music in 2002 Hallmark competition. Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxFo9arzmIQ&feature=related Sharon

At least we get to see Zhen and Shao skating to the music so far. I did a little more research and apparently the song was recorded in 1970 by Oscar Benton and was part of the music for the 1999 movie "La Buche" (The Yule Log")....I may have to rent this....yikes! speaking of time - I have to be at the rink in a few minutes! Gotta go! Karenna -------------------------------------------------------------- I follow your lead and teach the young to aspire.

Now this is a really unusual piece of music! It's a cross between classic American blues and a rich Russian component, subtly introduced instrumentally, and then vocally celebrated. I've never heard anything like it before, because of the amazing combination of traditions, a very successful combination! I can really picture Alexei using this music, and I cannot wait to see him doing it! It has put a smile on my face, and I found myself starting to sing along with it lololol (Had to wait to post this because of a phone call ;) ) Lina :) -------------------------------------------------------------- "A human can fight in any situation."
