Hi, I just thought I';d note that like many of the shows then, the music (credited by Art Clokey on his "Davey and Goliath", and by Warner Bros.on those fall 1958 AFM union music strike cartoons, six of them, to Capitol Records production music chief executive John Seely), was used as you might know on mkany live sitcoms, mostly Screen Gems but also shows like Ozzie and harriet.. http://www.apmmusic.com. in LIBARIES & COVER ART, in CARLIN (H.Bluestone-E.Cadkin) and CINEMUSIC (J.Shaindlin) has many of the cues recognziable through endless watching O&Z ("Pixie Pranks", a standard issue Huckelberry Hound series (Pixie and Dixie and Yogi segments) and RUff and "Reddy",cue, is heard on Ozzie, by Shaindlin, and cues like "Mr.Tippytoes",so heard on Hanna-Barbera's "Augie Doggie and Doggie Dady", is IIRC heard on early "Ozzie and Harriets.").

Brit Composer Phillip Green's KPM, FD&H, CHAPPELL and EMI PHOTOPLAY music ("Bush Baby", another "Augie" cue, it's quiet and cute--the Warner short of six with this music, "A Bird in a Bonnett", used this when Granny at the begnning buys Tweety) Also got into the program. I distinctly rememebr eharing Bush Baby once when David and Rick left the room.

At John Seely Associates's own in house operation were cues that became the "Donna Reed" and "Dennis the Menace" themes, by Bill Loose and J.Cookerly, and also those by Goerge Hormel and Spencer Moore.

Phil Green's own cues were the ones used for that 1996 Hanna Barbera "Pick-a-nic" basket CD (get it, Pickanick basket, Yogi Bear), CD 1, tracks 15,17,and 19) and seleciton 1 on the 19th (Snooper/Blabbermouse) is the SAME cue used on the Adult wim Spumco Yogi "Boo Boo and the Man" in the open, and "My Three SOns", opening music, called "Popcorn."
