I wonder if the organizer has considered involving Alan Locher in this event?  He might have connections to get it videotaped, or perhaps parts of it streamed on his podcast.  At the very least, he might be able to offer some advice.      

I brought him up to her & she knows him & he is in fact attending.

Thanks. Nice to see Anna.

I saw this clip that was posted a few years ago - the person was asking for help trying to figure out the background music. Not sure if anyone can help.

Not sure what you mean by "figure out the background music." Are they hoping to find the title of the tune, or the composer?  Actually, to me it sounds like a normal background cue, probably composed and produced by the music company that was providing all the background cues at the time (1998).  In most cases, those tunes do not have titles, nor are the composers names available.    But you could probably find the name of the music production company in the closing credits for episodes in 1998.   

And wow, that was a very long scene -- even by 1998 standards.  In 2024, that scene would be dissected into about ten 30-second micro-scenes, and spread throughout a 60-minute episode.

This is what the poster says in the text: 

Clip from AW 03/06/1998 from Eddie's page. I'm dying to find the music from this scene. It was used in here and there on AW in '97-'99 and I believe it was also used on ATWT '99-'02. I also heard it on an episode of Oprah so I know NBC had rights to it. I would so love to know title and composer or source if anyone has any feedback. Clip is of Jake (Tom Eplin) and Vicky (Jensen Buchanan) shortly after Michael and Shane's death.

Thank you for more detail, Donna.   Well, it would not be NBC that had the rights to the music.  It would have been P&G Productions (or Televest) -- at least for Another World.  If it was also used on Oprah's show, then she may have been using the same music production company (who knows?).  In terms of title, composer, and source -- the person inquiring should refer to my earlier post.

Here are newly posted AW closing credits from early 1982 from 4 episodes, including those from a location sequence featuring Diana Frame in a horse riding competition.

All of the focus on Pete and Diana including that location shoot and by the next year they were gone and forgotten.

If you look at the cast lists in those credits, only about 10 characters played by the same actor remain  into mid-1983 (Rachel, Mac, Ada, Liz, Clarice, Larry, Brian, Blaine, Sandy, Cecile, Quinn).  

Characters like Jamie, Julia, Sally were recast with new actors.

Everyone else was gone.

I would imagine AW holds the record for the most cast changes over 5 or so years.

PTB changes too except I think ATWT had more HW changes, if that is even imaginable.

Did Christopher Goutman or Leah Laiman ever say if Anne O'Donnell was originally supposed to turn out to be Frankie Frame?  I thought maybe they changed this due to the show's cancellation because what was the point of brining Alice Barrett back for the mess of a storyline we got!!??

This was from an interview he did in 1999 before the show was cancelled:

Is "Frankie" the real Frankie or is she just someone Jordan Stark created, and what is she going to do to Cass and Lila's relationship? (don't do too much damage!!!)

Chris Goutman: 

Let me answer this and hopefully we'll dramatize it because I think it's something we need to answer. Stark did not create her. This is a character who is her own person. Anne is her own person. Stark found out about her and that's about it. She came of her own free will and she has a history which hopefully the audience will find intriguing with what happened to Frankie.
