Actually I am curious about something. Everybody knows I have been creating these threads for the Golden State Pops Orchestra a long time. And I have been happy to bump them up, keeping them alive with tidbits and info, just so that I might get a few more film music fans to go down there. But this time I really thought there would be more conversation about something as absolutely rare as this. I've seen more contributions to a measly Elfman signing. Only the usual suspects of loyal GSPO followers from the past (TJ, Sirusjr, Superman1701, Eugene Iemola etc.) have checked in regularly. I for one am wondering what Cliff Eidelman is playing. It has to be a Varese item so CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS would be cool. But since there is no Rota and he did that ROMEO & JULIET CD for them, that might even be a powerful tribute possibility.
Of course sometimes I think pretty cynically and imagine a film music "fan" back in 1963 looking at the line-up at the Hollywood Bowl (Rozsa, Herrmann, Newman, Waxman, Tiomkin, Bernstein etc. conducting) and saying"Bah, no Korngold, I'm not going!"
So has there been little to be said here because:
A) Morricone does a fine job talking about this on the board, nothing more need to be said.
B) I talk about this stuff on Facebook.
C) I'm too excited to say anything.
D) What is the GSPO and what concert are you talking about?

Henry, I can't think of anyone besides Lukas, who has gone to such lengths to unite the filmmusic community here in L.A. I don't want to embarrass you, but you've done a wonderful job promoting the concerts and your enthusiasm is downright infectious. See you tonight!
And I'll definitely be missing Thor there, too.

Hey, I check in and post here regularly, even though I sadly don't have the opportunity to be part of it myself. I just love 'film music events' like these, and I'm following the updates and stuff with eager interest. Not only for the actual film music concert itself, but everything surrounding it -- mingling, fan meetings etc. Keep it up, Henry!
Wow! I didn't mean to slight you guys! Frankly before I could get anyone to the GSPO I would get such wonderful responses from the fans from such distant foreign countries as Norway and Indiana who would say if they lived here they would be there in a heartbeat. It has been the locals who have been reluctant to come. But not this time. The 8000+ hits this thread has tells me they ARE reading this. And the fact every little seat in this 1500 seat venue has sold tells me they are coming. So it is only that conversation about all these guys under one roof playing mostly their own work (and they will be seated in the audience with us throughout) would seem natural to me. But not much here.
We did have a pre-party gettogether last night. Well not exactly we, after getting no response on here for a gettogether my wife and I decided not to have one. But Drivingmissdaisy was getting a small crowd together and we volunteered to host something informal. We cleaned up best we could and threw something together. A jolly crowd of Hermit, Superman1701, Clafong, Bond1965 and many others showed up. But they started to open doors to rooms we dumped garbage for the party and complaining about cleaning my house so they could see more of stuff. By then I needed a couple more drinks.
Never volunteer.
Enough negativity this is going to be a Golden day. Thanks to all on here who have helped to make it so.
13 composers! 28 pieces! I can't get my mind around that. See you all tonight although with that big a crowd I'll probably miss a few of you.
DO NOT FORGET THE RED CARPET STARTS AT 7 PM!
...and BTW I still have one of Preston's tickets to sell.

Henry: your efforts are greatly appreciated. My wife and I will be there. We're (finally) about to start the two and a half to three hour drive down. We're spending the night. Been too busy at work these past few weeks to say much about the concert except "Yay!" and "Yippee!"
It will truly be a memorable evening, and many many kudos to Maestro Fox, Mr. Townson, the composers in attendance via personal appearance or their music, and to you for promoting it so wonderfully.
I'll be there...and I coughed up the bucks to go to the reception as well. See you in about six hours, I reckon.
