I developed my love of classical music from the old Warner Bros. cartoons. Looney Tunes are truly classics. What passes for “cartoons” today range from weak to anemic to positive drivel.

The old Popeye cartoons were great, too. They introduced me to Von Suppe’s Poet and Peasant Overture.

And who could ever resist the music for the Lone Ranger (William Tell Overture)? My father listened to classical music all the time, but the Lone Ranger theme would bring my brother and me running.

My niece developed an interest after watching the Fantasia disc I bought for her 6th birthday. Simple exposure is usually enough; the music itself does the rest.
