Not very politically correct, I know, but I hope the big guy has a great night with both of them today smile

Happy 88.

Happy Birthday, Maestro.

Check out Sony Classicals Happy Birthday to him.
It's a Hoot.

Clue = they've posted a picture of the guitarist AND stated not many people know that he's a hugely talented guitar player/arranger.

That classic Sony fuck up yesterday got me remembering about a time from my teens, when a mate knocked around at our house and me mum sent him up to my room and I was playing The Missourri Breaks LP and he walked in, picked up the sleeve and said something like 'listen to him, showing off his guitar playing' (he wasn't a soundtrack fan and the John Williams of Sky was pretty popular at the time).
I wonder if Mick Black went to work for Sony (I haven't seen him in over 25 years!!).

I've been posting this picture all over the place over the last 24 hours, so I might as well post it here. Being the nerd that I am, and the Williams fan, I carpeted my floor with the physical part of my Williams collection yesterday -- just for fun and giggles.

For John Williams too still be working at the highest level + great health too it is wonderful news, his creative range has been phenomenal each decade, no-one knows exactly how long JW will keep enduring but i'd like too think that he could do another Olympics too cap-off his supreme cv.

Happy birthday & many more Mr Williams.

Thor, I'm not certain but it looks like one of the CDs in the 1967 section is Don't Make Waves. Was J-Will involved in that score?

No, but it was coupled with PENELOPE.

That's fantastic, Thor. And you're a man of your word....not a C&C in sight! smile

You truly have gone where no man has gone before!
Way too much time on your hands...you could volunteer sweeping up hair at the Hair Hut!

I did something similar some time ago, both for my John Williams collection and my Jerry Goldsmith. Can't find the Williams photo right now though. :-/

According to Slipped Disc:

"Sony Classical UK have tried to take down this embarrassing tweet, exposing ignorance, arrogance and other unseemly parts."

Apparently they've succeeded. I had no trouble Googling to the Slipped Disc report, but the Google link to the actual Sony item takes one to a notice that it is no longer accessible.

Many moons ago, my dear wife - who should be working for Sony Classical - knew that I "liked" John Williams and that I "really liked" his score for IMAGES. You can imagine my delight when, on my 13th birthday, I opened my present from her - It was the album "Images" by John Williams!!! Unfortunately, it was the album coincidentally called "Images" by the long-haired baldy guitarist by the name of John Williams.

I hope one of those is a typo... unless you were married really, really young. Cute story though.

Not a typo. They're wedded early in Scotland, to unite the clans.

Ah yes. I had forgotten about that paired release.
