name: Robert J. Walsh
notes: 'Description from Emmys.com:

  "Film and television composer Robert J. Walsh was a Daytime Emmy nominee, writer
  and producer of over 500 albums and founder of several post production facilities
  and music libraries. His best-known work included: Muppet Babies, My Little Pony,
  G.I. Joe, X-Men, Transformers, Pink Panther and Sons, Jem, and Fraggle Rock. He
  composed the music for Revenge of the Ninja, Young Warriors, Daffy Duck''s Fantastic
  Island and The Looney, Looney, Looney Bugs Bunny Movie.

  Walsh was born in Chicago, Illinois on December 4, 1947, son of Helen & Bernard
  Walsh. At the age of 5, Walsh, began playing the violin and as a teenager taught
  himself how to play the guitar. During the 1960''s and 1970''s he was in several
  bands including Happy Day, a Chicago-based seven-piece rock group with five top
  twenty records in the Midwest.

  In his early twenties, Walsh secured a gig as the lead guitarist in the original
  tour of Jesus Christ Superstar which brought him to Los Angeles. In the early 1980''s
  he became the musical director at Warner Bros. and Marvel Productions. Walsh was
  known as the personal composer for Stan Lee, Jim Henson, Friz Freleng and Lee Gunther.

  Walsh designed and built two famous post production facilities in Los Angeles: Saturday
  Morning Inc. for Marvel Animation and ScreenMusic Studios. He founded and created
  the Hollywood Film Music Library - the first privately-owned production music library
  to really penetrate the film and tv market in Los Angeles - which was sold in 1995
  to Zomba Entertainment. Walsh went on to create the Chicago Music Library in the
  2000''s.

  In addition to his musical accomplishments he also maintained a third-degree black
  belt in Shotokan. He spent many years in the dojo and was extremely passionate about
  his craft. Walsh is survived by his daughters Melissa, Stephanie, Raissa and Dana,
  his brother Patrick Walsh and his beloved dog Skipper Too.

  Every second of every day, his music is being played somewhere in the world."'
