From a previous episode:
(If it hadn't been for Tell there would have been no opera, if there had
been no opera there would have been no overture, if there had been no
overture the Lone Ranger wouldn't have had the theme music we [removed]
ed. That's a joke son, I say that's a joke).
Why a joke? This is true. Can you imagine the Lone Ranger with a
different theme song? Say, the Flight of the Bumblebee, or Omphale's
Spinning Wheel, or the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto #1 Main Theme. Those
are all classical selections associated with other OTR shows, and I'm
sure there are more, I'm just not thinking of any at this moment.
I'm glad things worked out as they did. Without Mr. Rossini's overture,
the Ranger may not have become as famous as he did. Imagine hearing this
music at a concert and NOT thinking of the Ranger - doesn't seem
possible, does it?

Hi Doug.
Stuffy Singer got his name this way. When Stuffy was born in 1941 his Dad
ask his Mom how does your boy look to you and she said like a lot of Stuff.
Thus Stuffy Dad sent a tellagram the next day to his son who was one day
old. Looking forward in throwing the football to you Stuffy. That how
Stuffy got his name. I just sent the OTR digest to Stuffy and he should get
a kick out of the post. Take care,
Walden hughes
