Arguably the most famous piece ever composed for classical guitar as done by Mason Williams, who meant for the song to be “fuel” for one’s repertoire so he titled the song “Classical Gasoline.” The copyist at the session mistakenly wrote it down as “Classical Gas.” Mason was a writer for the Smothers Brothers TV show, and once performed this on a guitar made of plexiglass...with goldfish swimming inside. Mike Post did the arrangement and parlayed that into writing TV themes like “The Rockford Files,” “Hill Street Blues” and “Law & Order.”
