[QUOTE="Taylor Bennett Jr., post: 317308, member: 2740"] that's Parker, I believe. His 'themes' were kind of hit and miss for me. That one you're talking about is nice, and the Sue Ellen 'the adultress' saxophone one is campy, boozy fun, I liked the little bluesy 'Alan Beam and Lucy' theme with the slick drummer.. but some of the others... like the 'Lucy' one in Runaway... ugh. He'd have these great moments - I'm thinking of the snare drum and acoustic guitar during Jock's showdown with Tom Owens, and I know [USER=152]@Snarky Oracle[/USER] mentions some great Native American-flavored stuff he'd done previously on a different show - but also a lot of stuff that seemed too light in tone for a drama. But those corny little interjections - I'm thinking of the 'blurts' when Jock rushes off after shaking Digger's hand quickly in Barbecue or when Sue Ellen gives Ellie and Jock a sculpture for their anniversary - sound like the 'you lost' music on the Price Is Right or something, and kind of deflate the drama. (And why the hell was the maniacal Willie Gust listening to basically a guy soloing on electric piano in kind of a '70s jazz' style while on his 'groovy green van' rampage across Texas.) Maybe his style was a bit of a clue as to Katzman's vision for the show - less arty, more 'humorous', like the later years?
