First, does anyone have information on what has become of Robert F. Brunner, the composer of the scores to all three Dexter Riley films (and many other Disney comedies of the 1970s)? How I would love to have these scores on cd. It is possible to rip the title tracks from the dvds of Computer Wore Tennis Shoes and Strongest Man in the World, but the catchy theme to Now You See Him, Now You Don't is unfortunately never played without significant intrusions of dialogue and sfx.
Second, I noticed a "John Debney" credited as playing "John," one of Dexter's pals, in Strongest Man in the World. If I'm not mistaken, he is the kid seen playing a guitar at one point. Question: is this the same John Debney who would become one of the most prolific film music composers of our time? I think I read somewhere that his father had been an employee of Disney, though I haven't been able to find that piece of information again. Just curious!
Thanks
Jim
