"Those Williams quotes above are just rubbish, and pretty clearly so. Concocted by some random person, using bits and pieces of facts about the films and scores, or bizarre rewritings of actual quotes" ------------------ But they WEREN'T. TownerB even included the link from whence they came. I think someone owes someone else an apology.
I obviously don't apologize to someone who uses that kind of disgusting language in response (as townerbarry's replies above -- swiftly reported to the moderators), but if they are real quotes, I do stand corrected. Guess I was thrown off by the almost oral, whimsical prose, which stands in great contrast to Williams' usual eloquence. Also, it's Morris Stoloff, not Maurice Stoloff.
Fair enough. But you 'rubbished' his quotes first off. He provided some answers and was mocked or attacked for it. And we all know TB can be a bit...volatile at times..
Sure, they're fine. Williams' piano gigs (for film, tv and albums) are still a territory we don't have complete overview of yet, nor any particular insights from the man himself; only general remarks.
