Terry Gilkyson wanted !!!

The finest composer for heroic songs was probably Dimitri Tiomkin with his great western ballads. But right after him was Terry Gilkyson (1916-1999) (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0318601/), who also wrote some hits for Walt Disney ("The Bare Necessities", "Thomas O'Malley").

I'm desperately searching songs like the one which is presented here, "Christopher Columbus" (http://rapidshare.com/files/3879628/Gilkyson_Terry___Christopher_Columbus___3_11____Performed_by_Guy_Mitchell_1953_.mp3.html)

I also have "The Scarecrow", which was written for a Disney-Patrick McGoohan Zorro-style vehicle from 1964.

So if you have other tracks by him (for example, from the "Windjammer" LP (1958) and "The Legend of Dick Turpin"), please send me a link and I will present them here if you like.

I got the track above from http://musicyouwont.blogspot.com/, a great blog where you can find all kinds of music. Lee Hartsfeld has about every record in the world and has a lot of great knowledge on the music he presents on his fine blog.
