[Fmpro] Carl Stalling scores

[Steve Barden]

If this hasn't already been mentioned, there are two outstanding books 
on music for cartoons that feature very detailed information on Carl 
Stalling as well as many other cartoon composers.

The Cartoon Music Book; Edited by Daniel Goldmark and Yuval Taylor; 
Published by A Capella

Tunes For 'Toons; By Daniel Goldmark; Published by University of 
California Press

Both books include interviews with Stalling, one as late as 1969, two 
years before his death.  I highly recommend these books.
