We discuss his work on Disney Parks attractions like, Horizons, The Great Movie Ride, Journey into Imagination, as well as other Disney Parks classics. Plus, we geek out a little on the advancement of recording technology from the 60's to today. A must listen!

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. What a terrific episode this was to record.
