About Me
Hi, I am Christopher Galletta Stevens, a lifelong John Williams fan with a John Williams-related CD / DVD / BD / LP + collection totaling over 500 discs. Although I love most of Williams' work, my favorite Williams scores are all six Star Wars scores (Empire and Sith being my two faves), The Fury, all five Indiana Jones scores (Raiders being my fave), ET, Superman, Jane Eyre, Jurassic Park scores (Lost World being my fave), and Jaws scores (Jaws 2 being my fave). I also have a handful of favorite scores by other composers, but I believe Williams is the greatest and most consistently extraordinary composer of all. My Williams admiration and collecting began in the late 1970s and early 1980s with his scores to the original Star Wars Trilogy, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Superman: The Movie, and ET: The Extra Terrestrial - where I had all of the old LPs, and was renewed in 1992 when I got my 1st CD player as a high school graduation present. Here I am over 300 CDs and CDRs (and DVDs and Blu-rays) later, including every score commercially released on CD (original and expanded).
Here is my Film Score Collection, which I usually update when I get new items. However, I haven't been collecting as much as I had between 1978-2005 (Well, note that Williams hasn't been too busy lately). [I have not updated that in FOREVER!]
Some of my stuff:
- ChrusherComix Studios | Central hub for my websites and projects.
- Galletta's Karting Club | I co-operate, race in, and do the site and videos for (and my YouTube videos featuring my karting races).
- Chrusher Comix | An archive of my old web comic book & Mature Audiences Graphic Novel.
- The Adventures of Towner & Friends | My All-Ages web comic strip
- Galletta's Greenhouse | My family's business, where John Williams music can sometimes be heard blaring while I'm working.
- OswegoSushi.com - R&C Sushi LLC | My wife and my Sushi Business.
- Social Media | Facebook, YouTube & Twitter, (and MySpace, and Hi5, Not that anybody uses them).
I live in Oswego, New York, in the United States of America with my lovely native Thai wife, our daughters, and my family, and I am a sequential artist/comic book/comic strip/graphic novel artist, writer and website builder/manager. I not only collect JW scores, but I am also a big fan of and collect G1 and Masterpiece Transformers, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, and George Lucas Star Wars (Original Trilogy and Prequels -- Disney's 7-9 don't... don;t count). I am also known as a multi-time champion go-kart racer (we like to be called "karters" for short), and have the website and videos to show for it. Lastly, I am also a Christian (and only bring it up here because in the past here, my inner Judeo-Christianity apologist came out when people attacked my beliefs... However, I have friends and family of all beliefs and lifestyles, and I am not intolerant or hateful of anyone who doesn't agree with me, and simply expect the same respect towards those who may not agree with mine as I do with theirs).
That's it for now! Thanks for reading!
