Music in another Don Rosa story

     Rosa's story "Sign of the Triple Distelfink" also has a panel with
music.  In panel 8 on page 6, a tow truck is "driven by a guy
playing a Wagner Opera really loud!"  With 20 notes printed
in the panel, it's readily identified: the Ride of "Die Walkure".
        This reminds me of an old television show "Name That Tune"
where they would give some hints about the tune to be played,
and the contestants would bid for the chance to identify
the tune.  The contestant bidding the fewest notes got the
first chance.  If they bid down to only 4 or 5 notes, as was
printed in the last panel of "A Little Something Special", they
usually could not recognize the tune.  But seven or 8 notes played
were usually enough.
                    Best wishes,
                                            Larry Giver.
