Post a commentThanks a lot for Miami Tour
Hi Johan, I am writing to you because of your blog on music used in cartoons. Maybe you can help me identify what cartoon used Darius Milhaud’s “Le Boeuf Sur Le Toit” as a comic sound backdrop. I seem to remember it being a Bugs Bunny cartoon, but so far I have not been able to confirm this. Can you help me ? Thanks in advance.
Dear Johan, My family and I were great friends with Pat West and his family and I want to thank you for putting together these pieces of Pat playing on Facebook. We knew Pat since he was a small child – our families were very close and we frequently went to his gigs to hear him play. I met Pat’s father when I joined the BBC in 1964 and we remained close friends ever since. Pat’s mother Jo is staying with us at the moment. Please get in touch as I’d love to come to Paris and hear you play, I’m a life-long jazz and blues fan.
Best wishes, AndyWalker Email:stradella75@gmail.com
