Sawing On

The Big Snit

The Big Snit

Some forty years ago I was in Winnipeg with my friend Richard Condie, sketching out a theme for the animated short he was working on, The Big Snit. I played a few notes on Richard's old tack piano, and he said: "That's it! That's it!" 

I didn't like the music very much, I was just fooling around, but I had to stick with it, as he would not change his mind, and I developed the idea as best I could.

In those days, there was no way to "mock up" a score, a composer just wrote it out, booked some time in the studio, recorded it, and sent it off, hoping that it was received with open arms and open mind.

It was.

A friend recently told me that some people on the internet like to act out scenes from The Big Snit. I am not entirely surprised....there was once a whole bar in London England with a Big Snit theme....

It's good to know Richard's film is Sawing On.

You can have a look here:  The Big Snit

Some other animations are there too.

Don't hurt yourself.
