...Democrats may have talked about unity, but it was San Francisco's 50-piece Dick Crest Orchestra that provided the true harmony. Candidates could choose the music they wanted to accompany their moment at the podium from a repertoire of about 500 songs. Despite the extensive selection, Hart used recorded music. When Mondale requested Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, the band had to send out hastily for sheet music. Did the dearth of Sousa marches and the absence of brass bands offend convention regulars?
