I often say that classical music is alive and well, it's just decamped from the symphony hall to the movie theater. Today's composition from the soundtrack to the 1990 film Home Alone was nominated not only for The Best Original Song Oscar, but also for a Grammy. John Williams needs no introduction - for those of you who have never heard his music, go watch Star Wars for cryin' out loud.
You have good taste in music friend.
ReplyDeleteWife keeps asking me what bit of music I'm playing on the computer.
Reading about John Williams-- he served in the Air Force and even wrote music for Gilligan's Island,for heaven's sake! His Dad was from Maine, and they had a store in Bangor. His son played in Toto as a singer. Who knew?
ReplyDeleteWhat a prolific career!!
