For some reason, nobody commented on the fact that David Shire was not on the list. Added now. He's 85, and the reason I noticed is that I just saw a pic of him on Facebook, attending some event in The United Arab Emirates alongside Robert Townson, John Debney and Tan Dun, I think. I've been to the UAE, and it was not a pleasant experience, but be that as it may, hope he had a good time. He looks a bit frail, and was wheelchair-bound, but I hope he's in decent condition otherwise.
