Talk:Episode 0277

so this is what the source looks like. it's a clearance form for music royalties, so it doesn't have all sketches, but it certainly has a ton of info we don't have on the wiki. it's in the CTW Archives at UMD. Their collection covers every episode for season 3 and season 4 (the latter labeled Music Cue Sheet). i can work on putting this stuff up too, but i've still got a ton of nhk guides to do, so if anyone else wants to do these go right ahead--it's about 320 pages ($32) to photocopy, if that helps you plan your archive trip.

as you can see, it's got some stuff i can't quite identify, and perhaps someone who has worked with the Season 1 content, or is more familiar with the early cartoons & stuff, will be able to make more sense of it:

M-Mouse: it credits Snyder & Fascinato for the music. don't know anything about them (see my post in Ken Snyder discussion) but maybe snyder is lyricist & fascinato did the background music. I identified it as that particular sketch b/c it's got the script in the NHK guide, so now that i see them calling that sketch M-Mouse, we'll be able to identify it from other episodes where we only have written notes. but i don't know how to credit it--just Snyder as Artist if he is the animator? or see if we can get a group of Snyder/Fascinato animations to make a page for?

Bus -- with music by James Harpham. a quick google search suggests that he's a jazz pianist. this could be the sketch where the kid talks about her dad being a bus driver?

B-Wall -- another snyder & fascinato. but i don't know what the sketch is.

What's that Line Fish (Eng & Sp) -- don't know what that one is

Jack & the B Stalk, Henson Powder 3 (rollercoaster 1, 2, 3), and Snyder-Fascinato B-wall all appear twice--i don't know if/how you want to note that. which brings up the question of order--these show order of segments, but don't show all segments, so i don't know how it would be best to integrate non-musical segments taken from NHK or other CTW archive sources, if we want to indicate order of segments when we know it.

Pixillation Music -- i don't know how you want to deal with info that narrows down the segment without giving us the exact segment. this is most likely a cast insert, building a letter or some such thing. other episodes include semi-identifiable things like "sherlock hemlock tag" so we know he was in the episode, but we don't know which segment it was. should we note that sort of thing in the article or discussion page or just leave it out altogether?
