Edward George White (1910–1994) was a British composer of light music whose compositions including The Runaway Rocking-Horse (1946), Paris Interlude (1952), Puffin' Billy (1952). Puffin' Billy is perhaps his most familiar composition, especially in this original recording by the Melodi Light Orchestra. (Danish State Radio Orchestra) for the Chappell Recorded Music Library. The conductor is Hubert Clifford. The piece was inspired by an old steam locomotive called 'Puffing Billy', seen by the composer while on holiday on the Isle of Wight. The piece was used as the signature tune for the BBC Light Programme's 'Children's Favourites', a radio request programme, from 1952 to 1966. In the United States it was used for an even longer period of time (1955–1974) as the theme music to Captain Kangaroo on the CBS TV network.
