ReplyDeleteCool! Russ Case was my grandfather and it's nice to see someone take an interest in his music/art. He has a couple songs on the Space Age Pop CD's that came out in the mid-90's (Mallets in Wonderland is one of them). Check amazon for info on them (or try Ebay).

Thanks Scott! You're grandfather's work ranks right up there with many of the great space age composers!
