Excellent piece. My introduction to Raymond Scott came from Don Byron's mid-1990's Bug Music album which performs/interprets several of his pieces Stalling used for the Warner Bros cartoons (it's a great album and I was a bit surprised to see no nod to it in your piece, if not a video of Byron's performance of Powerhouse, or, say, the Penguin or Siberian Sleighride). But I never looked into Scott further (no quick reference wikipedia article or google searches possible in ~1996). I had _no idea_ about his groundbreaking electronic music instruments and technological developments, years ahead of its time. Not to mention his employment of Bob Moog and work w/ Gordy at Motown. Thanks for this.
