  • Sounds like something you'd hear during a pitching replacement at the old ballgame, like the way they use the Final Jeopardy music during instant replays at NBA or NHL games.

  • Ah yes, back when girls wore skirts at the roller-rink... back when the chrome was thick and the women were feminine.

  • Unusual but excellent version of the Leroy Anderson orchestral staple.

    Extra points for the Canadian Columbia 78 you used. Very good quality sound.

  • I grew up with Percy Faith's version from The Early Show & The Late Show. Our dog used to howl at the tv when the theme came on!

  • Slightly different version but just as melodious.

  • I love Ken Griffin! I stayed in an antique store for 2 hours just listening to this on the jukebox.

    Hi,

    The "Captain Kangaroo" theme was called 'Puffin' Billy", the name of a type of narrow-gauge train that among other places ran (or runs) through one of the states of Australia. (Is there a pattern here?)

    "The Syncopated Clock" in the 50's and 60's was the theme for CBS' daily movie series "The Early Show" and "The Late Show".

    As an organist myself, I appreciate this, but think Leroy Anderson, one of our national treasures, is meant to be played by a full orchestra.

  • didnt everybodys grandmother have this record? I know mine did. Did'nt this become the theme of some childrens tv show? was it captain Kangaroo?

  • it wasnt by ken griffin it was by leroy anderson

  • I do too!
