A friend just sent me the following email about the Walt Disney and the 1964 World's Fair [BOX SET] that I was mentioning on the blog yesterday:
[This was something that Bruce Gordon championed and had all ready to go upon his untimely death. It had been in the works for years, even before the death of David Mumford in 2003.
Randy Thornton at Walt Disney Records picked up the baton after Bruce's passing, and this is the result.
