Music Extended Version

The summary of the first book in the series is as follows:

In 1978, 19-year-old Beau James, a university dropout with a knack for gardening, is hired by the elegant Baroness Eleanor Whitmore to restore the overgrown gardens of her estate. As Beau revives the neglected

grounds, he and the widowed Baroness form a quiet bond—she finds solace in his work, while he discovers his true passion. Their connection is tested when Eleanor’s estranged daughter, Victoria, arrives, stirring tension with her jealousy and sharp words. Amidst the garden’s rebirth, Beau uncovers a hidden grotto, a symbol of Eleanor’s past love, deepening the emotional undercurrents.

At a grand garden party, Victoria’s drunken accusations force unspoken truths to light. Recognizing their time together must end, Eleanor gifts Beau funds to start his own business, parting with gratitude. Beau leaves Whitmore Estate changed, carrying the summer’s lessons into his future. A story of growth, secrets, and fleeting connections.

The initial opening credit music, “Boy, you've got it”, which does run to approximate ly 3 minutes plus and the “customer” is hungry for his presence. The closing music, “Same time next week, ends the story with a cheerful optimism, I am coming back don't worry absence makes the heart grow fonder and release then is so much sweeter.

The story and music itself runs to just shy of 30 minutes and is narrated in my own voice,
