Catherine O’Hara… she was great. I always liked her attitude. I hadn’t seen this in years and a fan shared it with me. May her memory be a blessing.

You know the saying that some actors have the ability to disappear into their roles?
Jerry Goldsmith (1929-2004) had the ability to disappear into his scores. Every film score he wrote was completely different than his last. And nearly all were brilliant.

If I may add to @dean.bsky.social's excellent thread on Leontyne Price: This shows her in the sensational Act II of "Tosca," broadcast on NBC in 1955—Price's dazzling introduction to a worldwide audience. She sang it in English, and her Cavaradossi was David Poleri.

A guy on the LIRR is watching the Super Bowl on his phone at full volume.
Since he's acting like we're all in his living room, I asked if he had any spinach dip.

Well, it seems that our daughter Morgan is now a poster girl for Boston Conservatory's Musical Theater audition tour.
Alas, no royalties are being sent for this one.

The cell service in this rural location is bare minimum, so posting (and almost any other online task) takes a loooooong time.

I'm asked what my favorite John Williams score is.
I don't have a favorite, but for me, the opening titles of SUPERMAN (1978) is always a thrill.
For five full minutes, the music is front and center. It's truly a full-fledged overture. Which we rarely hear anymore these days.

Happy birthday to John Williams, BOTD in 1932.
His music has been part of the soundtrack of my life - as it has for countless others - since the 1960s.
I could write a book about it, but, lucky for us, @tgreiving.bsky.social already has.
One of the most compelling bios you'll ever read.

This week should be easy-peasy, especially the first 2 or 3 music clips. Get those, and you'll get the theme immediately!
Maybe even 4 and 5 will come to you after that.
