Emmy Award-winning composer Bob Cobert turns 90 today.

Cobert composed the original music score for ABC-TV's Dark Shadows daytime soap opera (or spook opera) of the 1960s. He also scored the movie spin-offs House of Dark Shadows (1970) and Night of Dark Shadows (1971).

It just so happened that early this morning I ordered a CD of the "Original Music From Dark Shadows" (pictured above). I already have the cassette version (well worn) that came out in 1969, but since the album was being offered at Amazon.com, I decided to get the CD.

Happy Birthday, Bob!
