James Bond Theme Trial Ongoing

News flash by Lukas Kendall

The libel trial between Monty Norman and London's Sunday Times is ongoing. I want to alert our readers to excellent, comprehensive summaries that Pete Greenhill has been providing for the John Barry newsgroup at Yahoo's egroups, as he has been attending the trial. (I think you have to sign up in order to access the board.)

Here are the daily summaries -- there apparently aren't any for days 1 and 2:

Day 3

Day 4-5

Day 6

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/johnbarry/message/14882

Day 7 - John Barry takes the stand!

Finally we can learn the story behind the authorship of this famous theme...I hope!

Finally, check out our new poll here at the website in which we ask you, our dear readers, who you WANT to be victorious in the trial. (Not who you THINK will which would be a separate question.) Please vote -- thanks!
