I would like to know who wrote "Theme Time". What was the band (I think Jimmy Martin) and who played in the band? Thanks in advance.

It is indeed a Jimmy Martin Classic instrumental. The writers credits are Jimmy, Bill Emerson, and Paul Williams, but I think Emerson had the biggest hand in writing it. It was cut in 1965 or so, and besides Jimmy, had Emerson playing banjo, Earl Taylor playing mandolin, Vernon Derrick playing fiddle, and probably Willie Ackerman playng drums and Lightning Chance playing bass.

Isn't that the same tune as "Train 45"?
I thought Willie Ackerman was a guitarist who founded the Windham Hill record company. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif
