    Just to re-introduce one of Duke's movie theme writers

    JIm and Sue,
    From what I can see, he just retired in 1963,
    He was 61, guess, he'd made enough money!
    I included him, because I thought his score
    for The Horse Solidiers was really good.

    David Buttolph (born James David Buttolph Jr.) was a film composer who scored over
    300 movies in his career. Born in New York City,
    Buttolph showed musical talent at an early age, and eventually studied music formally.
    After earning a music degree, Buttolph moved to Europe in 1923
    and studied in Austria and Germany supporting himself as a nightclub pianist.
    He returned to the U.S. in 1927 and, a few years later, began working for
    NBC radio network as an arranger and conductor.
    In 1933, Buttolph moved to Los Angeles and began working in films.
    Buttolph's best work, according to many,
    was his work as an arranger on Alfred Newman-directed The Mark of Zorro (1940).


    In the mid-1950s, Buttolph started to write scores television,
    the most memorable being the theme for the TV western Maverick
    with the same music appearing in his score of The Lone Ranger (1956).
    He continued write music for television, many times westerns until his retirement in 1963.


    David Buttolph, now there's a name that everyone knows!
    He was the writer for the music on many TV serials,
    inlcuding The Lone Ranger, Wagon Train and Maverick
    and scored for over 300 movies!
    However, he did write the music for 3 movies
    with Duke. and one re-issue

    In Old California (1942)
    Lady for a Night (1942)
