Mike Post's theme from "Rockford Files" is just freakin' great and yet it's never seen the light of
day on CD in its original form, not that I know of anyway.

Mike used the Minimoog on most of the scores he did in the '70s and early '80s.

Stu Phillips once told me that Mike used to set it up next to the conductor's podium and play it himself. He was a "one fingered" keyboard player.


Co-written with Pete Carpenter

Fun trivia fact:

Mike apparently felt so strong about Pete's contribution to "the Rockford Files", that years after Carpenter's death when they made a few TV movies, Pete Carpenter still got credit with Post for the scoring.
