Raymond Scott, 2010

A belated happy birthday to Harry Warnow, better known as Raymond Scott. The name may mean nothing to you but you likely know his music, thanks to the equally unknown Carl Stalling's licensing of Scott's compositions for use in Warner Brothers cartoons from the 1940s onward. Scott was born on 10 September 1908, so I'm exactly a week late; sorry about that, Mr. Scott. However, I was a fan before Ren and Stimpy made you hip (again): I was collecting the Jass vinyl compilations of your best-known works back in the early 1980s.
