November 10, 2003: So long, and thanks for all the fish. There's a plethora of other music-in-commercials (and other media) sites out there. adtunes.com is the most recent I've come across, and seems to be regularly updated (at least, more than I can say about this site). Thanks to everyone who contributed.

On the younger woman's hand is a three stone diamond anniversary ring, which gives an extra sparkle at this moment.
