Andy 6,231 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Monday kicks off what I like to call "Composers' Week" in my house. John and Jerry all week long.
airmanjerm 83 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 My wife was due on Wednesday (the 2nd), but the baby hasn't come yet. He should be here ANY DAY NOW. (By which I mean....hurry up, kid! lol)I mentioned JW's birthday on the 8th, and JG's on the 10th...the wife's not too thrilled about waiting til the 10th, but the 8th would be nice.
ChuckM 1 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Oops ...one day too early I realize... Um, you're actually two days early. It's still the 6th (at least for the time zone in which Williams was born).
indy4 159 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Happy early birthday John Williams! Here's to two great scores later this year!
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,129 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I mentioned JW's birthday on the 8th, and JG's on the 10th...the wife's not too thrilled about waiting til the 10th, but the 8th would be nice. I can just imagine the baby being born on the 10th, welcomed onto the world with Theme from Airforce One blasting in the delivery room.
Quintus 5,825 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Happy birthday to my idol, film composer extraordinaire, maestro without equal. Here's to many more
Richard P 4,843 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Happy birthday maestro... here's to Theme from War Horse and Theme from War Horse Reprise
Muad'Dib 1,959 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Happy Birthday, Johnny! Keep the pencil moving!
Ollie 1,324 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I mentioned JW's birthday on the 8th, and JG's on the 10th...the wife's not too thrilled about waiting til the 10th, but the 8th would be nice. I can just imagine the baby being born on the 10th, welcomed onto the world with Theme from Airforce One blasting in the delivery room.Ilia's theme might be more appropriate.
publicist 4,648 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Happy birthday maestro... here's to Theme from War Horse and Theme from War Horse Reprise Yeah, get down to business, old man. Happy 7..something, Maestro.

Brónach 1,320 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Aaand it is the day! Happy birthday!!!!
MSM 128 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Posted February 7, 2011 Aaand it is the day! Happy birthday!!!!Haha not yet man, as Chuck mentioned, JW was born in New York, it's still Feb 7 over there You're as enthusiastic as I am
Director of Poltergeist 8,277 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 One of the greatest days in history.
airmanjerm 83 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I mentioned JW's birthday on the 8th, and JG's on the 10th...the wife's not too thrilled about waiting til the 10th, but the 8th would be nice. I can just imagine the baby being born on the 10th, welcomed onto the world with Theme from Airforce One blasting in the delivery room.Ilia's theme might be more appropriate.Ha! Well it's a boy so I'm going to axe the Ilia's Theme. Instead, here's what will be playing in my mind throughout the various portions of this experience:Pre-Anything (Just at the house sitting around, waiting for ANYTHING to happen: "The Days Between" from "Stepmom"Wife thinks something may be about to happen: "Incident At Isla Nublar"Discovers water has broken: "The Big Wave/The Aftermath," from "The Poseidon Adventure"It's time...grab the bags!: "Holiday Flight"Drive to the hospital: "The Mine Car Chase"Get to the hospital, endure the boring, anticlimactic feeling of waiting: "Abandoned in the Woods" from "A.I." (or the entire score to "Heartbeeps!")Heavy contractions: "The Big Rescue" from "Superman"Baby actually emerges: either "E.T. is Alive!" or..."The Planet Krypton" (timed just right!)Afterwards: "Remembering Childhood" from "Hook"OK well I'm sure NONE of this will actually be going through my mind. But if I wanted to simplify things with a John Williams score flair, I could just get Burgess Meredith to sit in the corner and narrate the entire experience.
crocodile 9,250 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Many happy returns. For New York (Variations On Themes Of Leanard Bernstein) by Karol

Andy 6,231 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Happy Birthday to THE Greatest Living Legend of our time.
Quintus 5,825 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Interesting to note too that the maestro shares his birthday with Mary Steenburgen, who is a milf of doom.
Jay 43,277 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 17 years ago, my musical world changed with the purchase of the Star Wars Anthology 4CD set. John Williams remains my favorite composer to this day.Happy 79th, maestro.
Naïve Old Fart 11,923 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Mary Steenburgen, a milf of doom.Just for clarification, Quint, does that mean that you would like to, or that you would not like to?
Quintus 5,825 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 The first one. "Of doom" at the end of anything means it's awesome.
Maurizio 6,074 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Happy 79th Birthday Maestro Williams!You're still the King of Film Music.
Naïve Old Fart 11,923 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 The first one. "Of doom" at the end of anything means it's awesome. You and me both, man (but not at the same time! ).
Wojo 2,458 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Interesting to note too that the maestro shares his birthday with Mary Steenburgen, who is a milf of doom.Indeed. vs. Happy Birthday, John Williams.
Wojo 2,458 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Who?John Williams. Multi-award winning composer of such legendary scores as Always and Angela's Ashes.
