I’m a bit hazy on the details. What I remember is the main character is a musician in an orchestra. He gets frazzled, IIRC, it has a lot to do with being seated in front of a trombone player. He goes to a psychiatrist who sends him to a very quiet resort/hotel. All is quiet and peaceful until a trombone playing yahoo with a giggling female companion occupies the room next door. The guy keeps asking the trombonist to quiet down and getting rebuffed. Ultimately

He finds out the trombone player is his shrink

I saw this on television several times during the 70s, but it seemed a lot older than most of the other cartoons that were on. Can anyone identify it?

That sounds like a Tex Avery MGM cartoon. The book “Tex Avery: King of Cartoons” has a model sheet of the guy trying to get sleep, but my copy’s at home right now. And I haven’t actually seen this cartoon myself.

Is this it?:

**Sh-h-h-h-h-h!**

This particualr cartoon was directed by Tex Avery, but for Universal, not MGM. It will be released on DVD as part of Universal’s upcoming Woody Woodpecker set, which I believe drops later this month.
