    This episode I spend some time discussing (and not trying to fanboy out too hard) with legendary film, theater, broadcast, and Disney theme park composer. In part one, we discuss George's history of directing, arranging, and composing for the US Army, CBS broadcasts, and yes, even some talk around EPCOT Center and Disney-MGM Studios.

    Episode 18: Theme Park Music & A Discussion with Tammy Tuckey

    This episode I spend a little time talking theme park music (arguably, the best part of the parks), and spend some time with fellow musician (and Disney fan), Tammy Tuckey. We discuss our favorite theme park songs and her upcoming album, covering popular Disney music. A must listen if you love theme park music.  Find more information about Tammy's project at: Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for her album, including an album trailer.  https://igg.me/at/tammytuckey/x/29181170#/… Facebook - http://facebook.com/singertammytuckey… Twitter & Instagram - @TammyTuckey YouTube: http://youtube.com/TammyTuckey Website: http://tammytuckey.com
