This was the best discussion ever. Sorry, you guy missed it. It was unbelievable! I was talking to Bear McCreary the other day about coming by... and guess what? He did. And he's writing music for some Star Wars project. Amazing!!!!
I have no idea. There were a few grunts we could barely hear.... but he just got up once he let the four of us in and never returned. We heard his phone vibrate a few times but that's about it. The chat is done!
I sincerely apologize. I went to the bathroom, suddenly felt ill, sat down on the warm tiles and basically passed out. It will not happen again. Hope the last 40 minutes were OK regardless.
Message for Onya - Regarding the non-mention of Kenyon Hopkins in David Meeker's 1981 book "Jazz in the Movies" (a godsend for me before the invention of The Computer), the criteria for who is listed or not is a little bit arbitrary. So we get all the credits for scores written by Lalo Schifrin and Allyn Ferguson (for example), but in the case of Hopkins, Henry Mancini, Michel Legrand, Pat Williams etc etc etc, only their scores on which noted "jazz musicians" played are mentioned. Kenyon Hopkins gets a mention for 1957's THE STRANGE ONE, but only because Don Butterfield did the tuba work on that score.

It was a fun meeting! Please take care of yourself, Thor!
