From the love story where do i begin
 
I like detective stories and the logical deduction that the detectives make. I can never be a (even in my dreams) Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple or James Bond- the closest I can imagine myself to be is Inspector Clouseau (from Pink Panthers The Pink Panther - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) - as a bumbling detective (made famous by Peter Sellers) . Here is the theme song (music by Henri Mancini)

Paul Anka- Diana

I'm so young and you're so old
This, my darling, I've been told
I don't care just what they say
'Cause forever I will pray
You and I will be as free
As the birds up in the trees
Oh, please stay by me, Diana

Continuing on the theme music, here is the closing theme from Masterpiece Theater (PBS Series - formerly hosted by Alaister Cooke Alistair Cooke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) This audio is "Rondeau" composed by French composer Jean-Joseph Mouret (1682-1738) - It is not a music of the recent past (thereby violating the threads norm) - It is an upbeat tune -
