Vic Mizzy Composer wrote Green Acres *and* music for The Ghost and Mr. Chicken Dead R.I.P.
What do you say about a composer who wrote the theme to Green Acres *and* the music for The Ghost and Mr. Chicken?
Frankly, I dunno. The dude rocked our worlds with bass harmonicas and fuzztone guitar motifs and now he's gone.
But Magic Carpet Burn takes a step in the right direction with the aforementioned primo Don Knotts comedy.
Around 8:38, dig the creepiest organ music ever . . . (thanks, Vic)
