Album, "Pete Kelly's Blues"
By Brian Smith

Bill, I found the soundtrack to Pete Kelley's Blues listed at Amazon.com
for 13.99 per CD but is it available to order?  I have a tape of the
movie and I think I remember one tune being played on the Seeburg G in
the ballroom scene.  It would be interesting to know what the second
tune is on the album.  You can also see what looks like a Western
Electric Selectra to the left of the Seeburg G.  It's a rare scene in
the movie when Janet Leigh and Jack Webb dance to the Seeburg G (that
sounds to be out-of-tune) and then the gangsters close in on Jack Webb
and a gunfight breaks out.  Hopefully they don't shoot the Seeburg or
the Western Electric.

It would be interesting to find out where these instruments are now.

 [ Kelley was spelled Kelly in the original article title.  Is
 [ Kelley in fact the correct spelling ?  Thanks -- Jody
