Yes indeed Bill, I love cartoon music. It got me (as well as many  
other Americans, though few will admit it) interested in jazz at a  
very young age.

I also love movie music and revere a cyber buddy, Ennio Morricone, who  
composed a lot of it. My cell phone ringtone is the theme from "The  
Good, The Bad and The Ugly." Keeps everything in perspective.

Cheers,

Steve Barbone
