Moment of Silence for the pioneering synthesist Gershwin Kingsley who just passed at the young age of 97. While of course Mr. Kingsley was known for so many wonderfully incredible groundbreaking electronic compositions, the Disneyland fans will instantly recognize one of his famous compositions entitled “Baroque Hoedown,” the theme song for Disney parks’ Main Street Electrical Parade (which he co-wrote with Jean-Jacques Perrey)
