Re: OT: What is that song on Car Talk before 2nd period of show? - 15 years ago

I think you only hear it when the local station doesn't do a talk over. It's only a few seconds and then the mandolin break comes in, just after the 20 minute break.

OT: What is that song on Car Talk before 2nd period of show? - 15 years ago

It's a moody instrumental with keyboard and a non-C&W steel guitar-sounding instrument that is played after the 1st break at around 20 minutes. It somes on right before the mandolin kickoff to the 2nd segment. I have heard it on 2 different stations, so I don't think it's a local thing.
