Checked search engine and couldn't find anything posted. Sorry if I missed it. Enjoy!    Posted:   Feb 14, 2019 - 9:57 PM     By:   Jim Cleveland   (Member) Yep...someone else posted this a few months ago... hard to believe that the woman in the video was that beautiful woman back in the 60s who married Herrmann!    Posted:   Feb 15, 2019 - 3:07 AM     By:   Graham Watt   (Member) Yeah zooba, why's Norma all distorted and with a beard? And why the heck is she growling out the lyrics to a Goldsmith theme?    Posted:   Feb 15, 2019 - 6:29 AM     By:   WagnerAlmighty   (Member) My life is now fulfilled after watching god's gift to video.    Posted:   Feb 15, 2019 - 12:41 PM     By:   Zooba   (Member) Yeah zooba, why's Norma all distorted and with a beard? And why the heck is she growling out the lyrics to a Goldsmith theme? Sorry, I've amended the link. That other link was for my Fave Lyricist Post. Man I'm really losing it.    Posted:   Feb 15, 2019 - 12:42 PM     By:   Zooba   (Member) My life is now fulfilled after watching god's gift to video. Sorry WA I'm losing my mind.

LOVE that video!    Posted:   Feb 15, 2019 - 5:13 PM     By:   PFK   (Member) Yep...someone else posted this a few months ago... hard to believe that the woman in the video was that beautiful woman back in the 60s who married Herrmann! I saw a photo of her taken about 1970, she did indeed look beautiful. There's one on Google in the mid 1970's, looks great. According to Wikipedia she married Herrmann in 1967 at age 27. This year she will be 79! Time marches on .......    Posted:   Feb 15, 2019 - 5:40 PM     By:   Jim Cleveland   (Member) ...and so do the wrinkles!    Posted:   Feb 16, 2019 - 3:52 AM     By:   couvee   (Member) Thanks for sharing this. Interesting remark Blake makes about Herrmann telling him he used 90 violins for Psycho's shower scene. He may have exaggerated but it could be true and in that case could be the reason it sounds so terrifying on the original recording (and less so on re-recordings).    Posted:   Feb 16, 2019 - 5:43 AM     By:   John B. Archibald   (Member) Marvelous recollections. Thanks so much for posting this.    Posted:   Feb 16, 2019 - 8:28 AM     By:   Guenther K   (Member) Thanks for sharing this.
