Thanks, Fred.  The other day you hinted that you think
Mister Mendoza did some interesting things for
TRAVELOGUE.  Others have problems with the 'liscence'
he took, creating "program music" rather than a
reserved supporting score, implying that he created
something akin to incidental music in a movie score
(like using  a slide whistle when Oliver and Hardy are
doing slap stick).  When you're ready, I'm keenly
interested to know how this shakes down, in your
brain, over time.
