"The Glory of '40 in the Best Sound Ever:
Savage Music With Modern Comfort"

hahaha... I LOVE IT!

I'm thinking of the many Warner Brothers, Tom and Jerry, Tex Avery, Disney shorts, etc etc type cartoon music. "All the Cats" is a note able exception, as are maybe a couple of other toons... but it's hardly what you'd typically hear backing up a cartoon of that day. Raymond Scott... now t...

I don't believe I've heard "Till Tom Special," or anything sounding remotely like it in any cartoon I've seen.

Yeah, I hear lots of similarities with lots of other songs too, hence my might just be a hawkins jam session theory. Live stuff like this is harder to nail down.

Sing, Sing, Sing (Bluebird) is a good early sampler. A must have for generic Goodman.

The other must have album is "Slipped Disc," though I believe it's out of print.

The only other Goodman I need is anything with Christian on it. I've pretty much passed on everything else.

Seems you can tell a lot about a person by the way they organize their music. Interesting stuff.
