Gale Borden Hunt (February 19, 1914 - April 29, 1999) was a composer who published original sheet music beginning in the 1940s. He spent much of his retirement years traveling, as well as writing and recording the book, music, and lyrics for his original musical, A San Francisco Sunday (also known as Lucky Sunday), written under the pseudonym Gary Borden Hall. The musical centers on the lives of same-sex parents and transgender individuals.
