Absolutely touching and beautifully expressed. Thanks for sharing. I join you, though, in wishing Happy Birthday, Jerry! Wish you were here to celebrate and reflect with us. His absence is even more poignant to consider amidst the recent passing of John Barry. So much of the music we love is moving from the present tense to past. Having just celebrated John Williams' birthday as well, though, I am sending all my warmest, happiest thoughts and saving the melancholy ones for the next blizzard.
Well said. I so glad I saw him in concert twice in Los Angeles and on his birthday! Wonderful, just awe inspiring. Wish he was still making music today...
Just yesterday I tried to find out who is the oldest active working actor and came up with Eli Wallach who, with 94, still played in "The Ghostwriter" and "Wall Street II".
So if we imagine that Goldsmith had not died and he would be in a similiar good shape as Wallach we could expect a new score by him even in 2022 !!!
An incredible mind experiment to think of the scores which might have come. Perhaps Goldsmith scoring "Pirates of the Caribbean Part 9" ?

Ernest Borgnine is 94 and still working too. I'm sure there must be some who are even older?
