[78-L] Gillette Blue Blade March

[Bud Black]

Thanks, David.  I can still hear Thurl Ravenscroft intoning, "Razor blades
you can't buy in your bathroom  (no, not one)."

It was called the "Look Sharp March", and the Boston Pops recorded it in
1954.
The trio section was "How Are You Fixed for Blades". Pretty sure it was
composed as the theme for the Gillette Cavalcade of Sports and yes I'm old
enough to have watched baseball and boxing and heard that theme many times.
