CUE OF THE MOMENT
Here’s a cue that sounds like an Amazing Race cue, but isn’t. Submitted for a news outlet something like 15 years ago, this one’s an adventurous, positive-energy orchestral romp with some light world-music elements spicing up the percussion… so it’s very similar to the music recipe for Race. Enjoy—LHS
