It's Boccherini's Minuet

(or if your record store clerk is a picky fecker, it's "Minuet from String Quintet in E major (G275)")

Academy of St-Martin-in-the-fields recorded a nice version for EMI in the mid-eighties if you're looking.

Derek Small's solo bass album, was supposed to be called 'It's a small's world' but never saw the light of day.

Not a day goes by where i don't think about it.
