BACK, JACK, DO IT AGAIN
Many of you may kno that composers did variations on compositions for various scenes..and often redid them. But I never though Langworth Filmmusic head Jack Shaindlin did, though. With a career spanning these titles and detailed at Yowp! Stuff About Early Hanna-Barbera cartoons but sadly missing from historian Dave Shields's otherwise noteworthy "The History of production Music" website, which does make use of researcher Paul Mandell, Jack did do many later 60s remakes [in the CineMusic ediiton of the earlier Lnagworth FilMusic library] of earlier cues, as the ones mentioned [BMI.com] and with a number of ghostwriters, but chances are deiniftiely that the familiar ones are the original. This is not meantto be a large post but to make an odd comment or two about older stock cue being remade [and in following months, I may do a piece on variants of such]--and to do a Steely Dan song title quote.

Closing theme "Gumby End Title Closing Theme" [Long] LOOSE & SEELY
PLOT: Clay capers in a toyshop first with various toys then in a toy car heaven
as only clay characters can have 'em.
Here's one of those on This Site-as mentioned-just go to Gumby-to Toying Around
During the early episodes Mr.Clokey experimented as before with general pantomime activitie sin a toy store. This was what the first several, the "Moon Trip"'s were, with here our hero skaitng up painting the title with "Gumby in"..then next title card:.. Why, "Toying Around". A ship goes up, as EMI Capitol composers Phil Green and according to ASCAP.COM Ephram Lisfey's standard "Windlass and Cpastam" sea tune often heard elsewhere is heard. Suddenly a face pops up, and yep, it's GUmby who then is revealed not to be a Gulliver, leaving us viewers gullibe. but just amazed. Going into the main part of the toy room, the clay guy then turns upside as me, Pokey, goes for the first time in the epsiode in, and [as described by "historians" Michaelson and Kaplan in 1985's "Gumby" book] in a standoffish fashion turns his own head upside down! Pokey & GUmby then go oin a delivery truck only Pokey drives the truck too fast toward a tower of building blocks with Gumby not yet in there, as the latter waves his arms to stop before getting bowled over literally..they can change places but Pokey gets knocked over.. only for Gumby to pick up him and they both build a tower, Gumby giving Pokey a balloon which carries him away. Gumby then has to get the horse down, into a silly bunch of horns that he blows the orange horse out and they both walk into a catchers close.
It's a mechanically activated baseball pitcher that they leave to a car place. Car City, here they come. Beautifully set up with excellent music and design, it shows a great view of the design that went into these shows with the characters getting involved with cars and a monorail. Pokey again has to be saved from something ..a monorail this time! Fortunately, as that often played circus tune used in the old theatrical catroon and live short subject era and etc. revived by legendary crooner Bing Crosby as "Spring is the Loveliest Night of the Year}", played , Gumby on a fourt go round, so to speak, rides with Pokey sand again for the 5th pop with with the monorail bearing the sign THE END.
Odd and quite unique set up, with in the first half mostly EMI PHOTOPLAY stock cues, and we've got a SAM FOX, a couple of other libaries cues and some whose composers I can;t entirely identify. The "The End" special graphic had been used for these till the sdtand end appeard. Art Clokey's other series "Davey and Goliath" had end titles, only a few Gumbys seem to have them survive [Davey's end titles disappeared in the 80s..]

Blockheads pulling Pokey outside, Pokey whinnies like REAL horse and to end Unknown dramatic sounding cue with composer not known
PLOT: (drumroll puh-lease) Heh-ere'''s John-I mean POKEY (I take a bow). And the Blockheads.
This was me--the little ole blogmaster me-Pokey--the orange horse of this blog's---first appearance. Originally on the old Howdy Doody show, it was divided into the shorter "Little Lost Pony" and "Blockheads", showing that a) episodes here got divided oddly, b) Gumby likes HIS milkshakes ICE CREAMLESS, c) Western bar doors play some pretty odd tricks and d) Boys loves equines as much as chicks do, well, almost as once. And YES, Gumby is a BOY....
Starting with Gumby listening to what sounds like an old newsreel OR radio clip theme, Gumby's mom has Gumby turning the TV down.; Gumby with his mother Gumba's blessing goes outside, playing wiht a ball and showing how differently shaped he can be. Then he hears Pokey for the first time, on a railroad track. Gumby thinks of saving him. SO do the first time as well villianous BLOCKHEADS, men of little words [make that NO words], to save him for THEMSELVES--for the ICE cream cones that Farmer Glenn the owner of [guess who--has 4 legs and is orange]. Pokey says his name..Pokey [rhymes wiht creator Art CLOKEY, who does the voice here], get it? Gumby sure does. But when HE introduces HIM-self - Pokey also laughs, but both in fun with each other. The blockheads try to get the two, now in WESTERN STORIES, a book they all go into time and again.
Now, the good farmer gives a reward to Gumbyu--many ice cream cones, but Gumby's cold..as his "Gumbomoter" shows [circurlas top. Window to show revolving "gauge"].
Going to a Western Saloon, the guys get separated from each other as Gumby's divided over how to get in, thanks to saloon doors that try to split him and himself up, making him beisde himself, but the sides do mend, as he requests a milkshake and to keep warm--WITHOUT ICE CREAM!!! The Blockheads at the last moment slip some in [reaching thru the bar] and do what even the swinging saloon doors seen a few gags ago cannot do--split up Gumby and Pokey by kidnapping the "prize pony", who lets out a real sounding whinnying as unidentifiable dramatic music [probaly by Phil Green or Bill Loose?]
Pulling Pokey along and almost to the end of his life within his DEBUT, the Blockheads, showing their creds as to their moniker, make all seem hopeless until Gumby managaes to save the day by cutting the rope and causes the Blockheads to slide out of the book WESTERN STORIES [though not forever].
The episode part "Blockheads" is no way to be confused with the Laurel and Hardy episode of the same name. Pokey and Gumby talk much slower than usual, since this is an early episode. Excellent Western Music, some of it on this page
The Blockheads might have been only temporarily finished, but Gumby and Pokey's successful heroic duty and successes were just starting.

Finally, more Loose-Cookerly-Cadkin music available
Over the last year, I've seen Carlin Production Music site [PLAY AUDITION site, not the APM one] and the overall increasing offerings from the B&W TV days, on both APM AND PLAY, on the PLAY site, its newer CPM library..first 2, with cues by Philip Green, Emil Cadkin, Bill Loose & Jack Cookerly, all except for Mr.Cadkin a first.
Now it seems three more CD's, largely representing the composers listed in topic title, are added. Some glitches have been done recently with tracks on the first several, changed then not just restorations but happily more variatons on old cues used on Gumby and others [including a personal favorite currently, the 1960 B&W pre-E-Trade talking baby production "Happy",], but hardly ever on HB cartoons..
[And retitled as those interested and who know will expect.]
These three are mostly mid 60s with a number of short cues by P.Green from CARLIN CAR 404 CLASSIC CARTOON FUN!! repeated, and partly re-credited. [From cowriters with Green, "Ken Thorne and Geoff Love" to Loose-Cakdin with Green].
On CPM 5 [mostly Latin and spy stuff] many tracks midway do not play. Still much better than nothing [but NO, the Seely-Loose-David Rose tracks as so often recalled from Yogi,m Gumby, etc. still do not exist.]

The lesser stock music libraries on the show
Among the many musical companies used on many television shows in America, at least though from the John Seely Associates wing at Capitol Records Hollywood Special Productions for many years, by now these may be familiar
Chappell
EMI Photoplay
Langlois/Jack Shaindlin
Major
Mutel
Omar/Raoul Kraushaar
In last few years, several sites have mentioned also
Zephyr [G.Hormel's company]
C&B [Cadkin and Bluestone]
Many others were offered. Among the more known would by KPM, JW Media, Sam Fox, Valentino,etc.,etc.etc. But here are a few others, beginning with the same letter:
The letter S.
Ever hear of Selected Sound? My knowledge of them's rather sketchy, but two of their guys, the dynamic duo of HANS CONZELMANN and DELLE nee GERHARD HAENSCH have cues on APM thru SELECTED SOUND familiar on "Gumby", and the "Ren and Stimpy"/Nickelodoen era wave of cartoons, credited on Selected Sound [500-5223}? to Conzellmann and Haensch [and Gerhard Trede possibly as Gerhard T. is a Selected Sound name, and still is, and ASCAP.COM refers to a GERHARD HAESNCH [last name then first name, HAENSCH GERHARD-under HANS CONZELMANN's name] and this is on both the Clokey productions, Gumby and Davey and Goliath, as well as Ren and Stimpy if I remember correctly. Such selections as "Variete", as I've mentioned here if I'm not mistaken are heard in both 5118 CONZELMANN-HAENSCH SELECTED SOUND Fanfares [5118/2-track 29] in at least one G&P episode as I mentioned earlier, "All Broken Up".
There are others but I'll save that for later, as far as the Selected Sound service is concerned.
The Southern Library was used in at least one episode, "Gabby Auntie', a personal favorite, the Clokey studio's answer to the old Max Fleischer "Dreamwalking" episode [lately over at ANIMATION HISTORY ANIMATION SHOW FORUM's, it's basically the MAX FLEISHCER FAN FORUM LOL.][, where it seemed EVERY cue--"Cinnamon Stick" [slighted edited, only the open bars;the jointly pseudonymous* "Frank Sterling"], "Comedy Timepiece" [used both near beginning and at end][Arthur Harold Wilkinson], "Capering Clowns [Max Saunders}, and "Chase Me Chester" [Roger Roger}, are all in the Southern Library due to a visit to a music site that shall-ahem-remain anonymous, and also, for those interested in trivia stuff, all of those cues share the same initial.
I've heard one on the same site, from composer Les Bridgewater titled "Fluttering Butterflies" which I've DEFINITELY also heard in a Gumby--probaly "Magic Flute" or "Super Spray". Southern had many of the composers [Roger Roger, his good pal Nino Nardini and others] that may be more known.
It hooked up with Peer, according to a post in Bryan Lord's
Totalrod2 aka Bryan's Lounge due to a comment from LittlGrey aka that little kitten of the blog word, who also interestingly thru his comment separates Major and Valentino.
These and Chappell were also huge publisher of British AND American hits, btw, which probaly should be saved for uh, a more DIFFERENT post, but Southern Music [at the time the later Gumbys as Nopey and Gabby Aunt Gumbitty [which I can verify used its cues] published one of the sillier songs of the time, one of the 1960s top ten US hits, and a guilty pleasure and great voice tester of mine, "Winchester Cathedral", the tune done a la 1920s-30s crooning pioneer of radio Rudy Vallee.
You know..dum dum DUM DUM
Winchester Ca-THE-dral
You're bringing me down..
Peer publishing Vaughn Monroe's 1949 Red Roses, and Chappell, "Poor People of Paris" [one one of the publishers.]
Some other libraries used seem to be rather unknown besides the many mentioned..Clarence Wheeler and Henry Russell [NOT that sea chanty writer!!!] who'd had a stock connection in reverse, due to a composition in the thirties that WB Music publishing owned and would be used in early color Warner Brothers cartoons before disappearing forever and a day in 1940s, "When I Yoo Hoo", and some sources DO give Henry Russell credit [but also another site confuses him with the "Life on the Ocean Wave, at home on the rolling sea" guy from the 1800s, putting them both in one entry.I'd sure like to know who the twentieth century Henry Russell wrote for, library wise and if he adapted, more important any sea chantys. Hey, this may stir some confusoon, The FIRST Henry Russell's Ocean song [yes, that one] is one some Carlin CD..as an archive.]
*"Frank Sterling" is a pseudonym of composers Den Barry & Stu Crombie.

I've heard one on the same site, from composer Les Bridgewater titled "Fluttering Butterflies" which I've DEFINITELY also heard in a Gumby--probaly "Magic Flute" or "Super Spray". Southern had many of the composers [Roger Roger, his good pal Nino Nardini and others] that may be more known.
It hooked up with Peer, according to a post in Bryan Lord's
Totalrod2 aka Bryan's Lounge due to a comment from LittlGrey aka that little kitten of the blog word, who also interestingly thru his comment separates Major and Valentino.
These and Chappell were also huge publisher of British AND American hits, btw, which probaly should be saved for uh, a more DIFFERENT post, but Southern Music [at the time the later Gumbys as Nopey and Gabby Aunt Gumbitty [which I can verify used its cues] published one of the sillier songs of the time, one of the 1960s top ten US hits, and a guilty pleasure and great voice tester of mine, "Winchester Cathedral", the tune done a la 1920s-30s crooning pioneer of radio Rudy Vallee.
You know..dum dum DUM DUM
Winchester Ca-THE-dral
You're bringing me down..
Peer publishing Vaughn Monroe's 1949 Red Roses, and Chappell, "Poor People of Paris" [one one of the publishers.]
Some other libraries used seem to be rather unknown besides the many mentioned..Clarence Wheeler and Henry Russell [NOT that sea chanty writer!!!] who'd had a stock connection in reverse, due to a composition in the thirties that WB Music publishing owned and would be used in early color Warner Brothers cartoons before disappearing forever and a day in 1940s, "When I Yoo Hoo", and some sources DO give Henry Russell credit [but also another site confuses him with the "Life on the Ocean Wave, at home on the rolling sea" guy from the 1800s, putting them both in one entry.I'd sure like to know who the twentieth century Henry Russell wrote for, library wise and if he adapted, more important any sea chantys. Hey, this may stir some confusoon, The FIRST Henry Russell's Ocean song [yes, that one] is one some Carlin CD..as an archive.]
*"Frank Sterling" is a pseudonym of composers Den Barry & Stu Crombie.
BILL LOOSE: A legacy of music, delivered fresh or canned.
Ah..February 22. In the entertainment world, this is the anniverary of..
Births
Sheldon Leonard [1907-1997]
Drew Barrymore [1975-]
EVEN
THIS
Deaths
Bill Loose [1910-1991]
Chuck Jones [1912-2002]
Here we deal with one Bill Loose, head stock composer of Capitol, who passed away 19 years ago in 1991 on this date. Born Detroit Michigan on June 5, in 1911 according to some references but in 1910 for others, and that's who I go by, he had the usual rise to prominence working in vairous 30s-40s orchestras. Around the bend of radio to television Mr.L apparently accepted a job at the British arm of the pioneering Sam Fox Library, whose music is controlled now by Carlin NY/UK and joined alliances with Oakland native JohN Seely, both of whom apparently contributed a lot of cues attributed to them, and many more just by Loose. For more, go here.
Capitol had started as detailed here two major early radio music libaries. The second of these was called MuTel [Music for Television], ergo TV HAD to have been a group of clients but what researcher Paul Mandell of New York says, far from it.[See last link above, repeated below.]
Around this time, John Serly had joined the Capitol staff and eventually lured Bill Loose at some point, and more outside music publishing and recording/releasing firms more and more grew, the Capitol distribution deals got made more, and the label created its third, and more importantly, first ORIGINAL music library, with complete date of Bill Loose's entry not exactly known, but it IS known that it's who Seely hired as major composer, and then other composers [George Hormel, Herschel Burke Gilbert, Spencer Moore, Emil Cadkin, etc.,etc.,etc., to cop a classic Yul Brynner musical quote] and the licensing of other libaries [both the Capitol, now called Hi-Q, and other labels like Omar and Langlois] took place and was soon finalized. For more got to same link as above.Loose died in 1991 on this date [February 22--btw Pebbles Flintstone was born on this date in 1963..too]
