For those of us who relish the joy of watching reruns of the old Batman TV series from the 1960's... a sad note.
The composer of the theme song has died in Los Angeles at the age of 85.
Neal Hefti once said that song was "the hardest piece of music I ever wrote."
Can you believe he won a Grammy for it in 1966 for "Best Instrumental Theme"?
Awesome.
And so I thought I'd pay a small tribute of sorts.

Gotta go for now.
To the Batmobile!
