Ooohhh - this triggers some memories - I remember sitting and listening to 'Uncle Mac' on the 'light' Programme (Now BBC Radio 2) on Saturday mornings and listening to this:
My first musical memory was of my mother playing this on our piano:
I must have been about 4 or 5.
I got all excited then Dex. I thought it'd be what I remember my mum playing. But it wasn't.
For all her ills, my mum was a wonderful pianist and try as I might to find out the name of the piece I loved her playing, I can't. Short of going into somewhere humming it, I'll never find it. It's a famous piece.... and goes duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh duh, duh, duh.... duh, duh, duh duh, duh, duh, duh, duh. But you can't hear that

Yay! I found the piece I menioned in bold above! But, unless I'm missing something, I can't find the name of it in the listed pieces being played, and it's only a small portion being played before it cuts off.
Does anyone know please?
It's the last piece here at 3.31
