The Beau Hunks did two CDs of the “Little Rascals” music, and several others of Leroy Shield’s, Ferdie Grofé’s, and Raymond Scott’s music, and Paul Whiteman swing arrangments.

The orchestrations of the Leroy Shield stuff originated with Vince Giordano, who still plays them live in New York at “Iguana,” a couple of nights a week.

I like the R. Crumb artwork on the little rascals cd....reminds me of zap comix from the 60s-70s and the ‘Cheap Thrills’, Big Brother and the Holding company album cover.

R.Crumb also did music in the Shield style when he fronted the Cheap Suit Serenaders....more of a joke than the quality of Beau Hunks.
