Anna Maria Alberghetti

Until just a few minutes ago, I knew of Anna Maria Alberghetti in only two contexts. One was a TV commercial for spaghetti sauce that she made in the 1970s. The other was as the subject of a knock knock joke on the Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Today, while looking for an archive of the USENET Tapes, I happened on Tim Thompson's Home Page and found his Muse-O-Matic algorithmic composition toy. On a whim, I typed "Anna Maria Alberghetti" into the little box. Out came this lovely piece of music in the form of a MIDI file. I learned today that it's appropriate to Ms. Alberghetti because she is known for her lovely singing voice.
