Quite true David... Charlie Chaplin's film music compositions to some of his own films like "City Lights" escaped my memory.

All the luck Ton in restoring the website!

Anything I/we can do to help???

I just resubmitted some past track listings which were lost.

I just gringe at the idea of possibly having my nicely organized personal database of film music evaporate!...

I don't think I will ever have the patience to resubmit them!...

I might have to make photo copies or perhaps back it up somehow even though I have no idea how to go about doing this!...

YIKES!!!...

generally, this http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/catalog/soundtrackdetail.php?movieid=63595 is considered the first music written for a film.
