This week a Third Country Radio, we're celebrating a composer and musician that you've definitely heard, even if you've not heard his name. Raymond Scott worked for decades and his frenetic, lively music became the soundtrack for countless cartoons and TV shows. But there's a lot more to the man than might first appear. It's two hours of Scott's work this week, including tracks like "The Penguin," "Bird Seed Special" and, of course, "Powerhouse."
