Neal Hefti

The composer of my favorite song when I was 8 years old has died. He also composed the tune "Gotham Municipal Swing Band" which was the theme to "Creature Features" when it debutyed on KTVU in January of 1971 showing "The Horror at Party Beach."


Sigh. There's nothing like that on TV anymore, at least not in the SF Bay Area. There's no local fun anymore.
There's nothing tongue in cheek like "Batman."


Balls.
