Best E-mails of the Week 07/04/04.   

 
Dear WMNR,
On Saturday night at 6:00 pm, you played the 10 best songs for movies.
First you played Liza Minelli's Cabaret, not in the top 10.
Then the order was:
10 Sound of Music
9 Stayin Alive
8 The Way We Were
7 Pinocchio
 
But I had to meet friends for dinner, and missed the list of the next six.
I was hoping to find it on the web site.
Can you tell me what the top six were?
Or refer me to a source?
Will you be repeating the program?
Thank you,
Peter
