Just re-listened to "The Hand" and your point is well taken. The scene at the end of Act II is far more powerful with the different music bed. It is amazing how much background music can enhance a story. I feel today's T.V. dramas are less effective for this very reason. Watch old "T.Z."'s or "Treks" and hear the difference. Radio drama, of course, relies upon this even more heavily.

Until next time....................
