.@edwinwendler & I count ourselves lucky when we get to spend a moment with our friend, composer @drrobfolk. Soon we’ll all be able to hear a new score by this master tunesmith. He’s completed work on director Martin Campbell’s upcoming thriller “Just Play Dead”.
It's a "Moonraker" kind of morning. Love this James Bond score! This 2CD set comes with two early versions of the song w/lyrics/vocals by Oscar & Grammy winner Paul Williams! Thanks Paul for scribbling on it :)
Less than 200 CD's left, get it here; https://t.co/UGSO1EjYDT.
One of my favorite scores & films. Very moving with a lot of emotional depth & great performances by the cast, which also included Olympia Dukakis. Happy to have this signed by Ted Danson. A marvelous score by the late composer James Horner, which will pull at your heartstrings.
My birthday weekend started off on the right musical note w/a fun visit to Academy Award winning composer, Bill Conti’s home. So funny, warm & full of spunk w/great stories! And of course I had to get him to sign my “The Karate Kid” score vinyl. Love that score & movie so much.
Very sad to report that a true musical genius, friend Thomas Bähler, has passed away. Edwin & I had lunch with him years ago at Chez Jay in Santa Monica. Loved story after story. Honored he signed 4 of my prized soundtracks. Strength to his family right now.
Happy bday to James Dean who would have been 95.
Today on his bday interesting enough I acquired a mint LP sdtk from Dean's last film "Giant" (1956) signed by the composer Dimitri Tiomkin. Being a big James Dean fan & having grown up near him in IN, this means quite a bit to me.
One of our friends Jeanne Jones is need of some financial help. She's been a collector of great film/TV scores for over 70yrs. Jeanne has been diagnosed w/pancreatic cancer & will need 24hr care. Her insurance won't provide. Please consider helping her.

The fun never stops in Hollywood! Lovely to finally meet a composer I've admired for decades recently, Max Richter. His score for "Hamnet" is sublime & I'm sure it will be nominated for an Oscar for 'Best Original Score'. The movie is beautiful, heartfelt & will move your soul.
More Hollywood adventures continue! ttended a concert/Q&A for "Avatar: Fire and Ash". Participants include; James Cameron (director), Simon Franglen (composer) & Mark Ronsen & Andrew Wyatt (songwriters). Mr. Cameron holds the #1, #3 & #4 spots in top box office hits of all time.
I was fortunate enough to meet some of the most talented stars, directors & composers recently! Honored to have been invited to the private reception for "Sinners". Brilliant film! Also great to chat with Michael B. Jordan who also starred in "Creed" & "Creed II" & many more.
Listening to this simply beautiful concert work by the late composer James Horner. This was his last completed concert work before his passing. These six parts really speak to my soul. If you’ve not listened to this, you may want to. If this doesn’t move you to tears nothing can.
Many don’t know, but my mother, is quite the artist. She painted this ornament that we hang proudly on our Christmas tree. This is just one of many I’m lucky to have and a treasure every one.
One of my all-time favorites "Scrooge" 1970 starring Albert Finney. I only wish the soundtrack was out on CD or digital for a new generation to enjoy. Hopefully one day. This is the signed Blu-ray by Leslie Bricusse. One of my favorites in my "tiny" collection.
