| | The Big Band Arrangers |
 | | Among Gifford's compositions were the Casa Loma's memorable theme "Smoke Rings," "Casa Loma Stomp", "Maniacs Ball", "Mister Rhythm Man", "Georgia Camp Meeting", "Plymouth Rock", "Rhythm of the River", "Sam Don t Slam the Door", "Shady Lady", "White Jazz," "Black Jazz", "Blue Jazz", and maybe 30 others. |
 | | In 1939, Gifford departed the Casa Loma and began arranging for many of the top bands of the day, as well as for the radio studios. |
 | | Spud's more than 200 stock arrangements are still in use today, sixty years later, all around the world. |
