I believe the "Quiet Village" track is done in Cha Cha Cha!!! I will research them both this weekend and report back. Les also wrote a few tracks for "The Music of Les Baxter" album by Don Tiare that don't appear on his records either. As far as Pete Rugolo's involvement with The Passions that is debatable. The original orchestrations in Les' handwriting are at the University of Arizona. Cheers and Mahalo, Jeff [ Edited by: Jeff Central 2009-08-21 09:52 ]
