Surrealism in overdrive.

Thanks for that! I just listend to it and a stellar pieace it was. I would love to have a theatre organ album of Scott's music also.. I wonder if there are any recordings of Jean-Jacques Perrey at the WurliTzer.

It has been done at least once. Search Myspace music for "Mundelein Starship" and you will find that Dave Rhodes has recorded "Powerhouse" on the Mundelein Wurlitzer in 2007. Of course, someone should do a whole album of Scott's music on theatre organ... that would certainly be interesting. I know the music is available because I have copies of some of it (piano editions from the 1930s and 40s). I'm not sure if band charts were published for more than two or three of his tunes.

WHOA! That explains why his "Cantina Band" music in Star Wars is reminiscent of Scott! He probably grew up listening to that stuff courtesy of his dad!

It makes me think of Reefer Madness, those tensed faces

The juxtaposition of the "indians" and all that tap-dancing... it's just-- MY BRAIN CAN'T HANDLE IT.

I knew this from the Don Byron Band's "Bug Music" CD, which is fine. Can't top the originals, though. |
