Burl Ives WAS magic in a bottle!

THE FUGITIVE

I have been watching the complete series of THE FUGITIVE ...and loving it!   I think I share the same values as David Janssen's Dr. Richard Kimble.   When I watch a quality show like this, I admire how well done it was, by so many people behind the scenes and the supporting cast of quality actors.  I see nothing like this in modern entertainment..

Finally found my Capitol HI-Q music library!

 

Listening to it right now!  Music used in the early Hanna-Barbera cartoons, The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet, Davey & Goliath, The Donna Reed show, Dennis the Menace, and many more classic series!  Love this stuff!  Cues from William Loose & Emil Cadkin, Harry Bluestone, Phil Green, George Hormel, Spencer Moore, etc.  The CDs were with my KELLOGG CONCERT OF BEST CEREAL SELLERS and A LITTLE HOYT MUSIC CDs, which I was also looking for.   Great music to put on when you are working on something!

Happy Birthday to our late friend Burl Ives!

Thanksful for Burl's foreword in my book THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS: A PORTFOLIO and our friendship with his widow Dorothy!  We would love to feature him greatly in our upcoming Rankin/Bass Documentary film!  A Super talent!
