I got excited for a second when I saw that his son wanted to be a composer (Christopher Mancini), 'cause by now he'd have been old enough and done some work had he continued, but alas, IMDb only shows a song for a film his father scored. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0541450/

I love pictures of happy 50s families at home. Why on earth were they playing his godawful album of Sousa marches, when they could have been spinning his exotica classic "Driftwood and Dreams?" The article was written in 1959. Mancini recorded his Sousa album in 1972. (Or maybe you were joking, rather than misreading the article.) EDIT: My bad, I see what you meant now, and I got one of his earlier albums confused with the 1972 reissue.

Why they would listen to that over "Driftwood and Dreams" is mind-boggling. Kind of looks like a staged publicity shot, so it's possible they weren't really sitting down to listen to an album.

Very nice article, an enjoyable read. Mancini had crew-cut hair?? Nice find, thanks for posting.
