(From the "Boston Globe" )
Children around Boston in the 1960s and early `70s knew it as IBBY.
Mention ``I'll Be Blasting You," the theme song to the ``Major Mudd" show, and many adults become kids again...
The song was one of many that F. Douglas Garron wrote in a performing career that began when he was in junior high school in the 1930s. A self-taught musician, he had a knack for knocking out tunes, but none had the staying power of the song that rang through living rooms from 1961 to 1975 when children tuned to Channel 7 and watched Major Mudd blast off in his spaceship, the Nervous One.
