In Topic: How to meet JW at the Hollywood Bowl Rehearsal

Thanks!  I'm a bit confused about what you're advocating--are you saying that meeting him probably isn't going to happen, or I should alter my strategy?

Also, anybody know if you're allowed to bring video cameras/cameras to the rehearsal?



Standing outside the artists entrance will likely get you nothing.  If you can still access the back of the bowl, through the lattice - I would suggest that.

Otherwise, I don't really know.

I took some photos, but using a video camera is likely not acceptable.

The configuration may have changed in more recent years - but here's my suggestion:

Stage right is where the artist entrance is.  However, JW does not enter nor exit here.  Instead he takes the elevator / stairs to the underground parking where he is whisked away by his driver.  You used to be able to stand behind the bowl and try to get to him through the lattice.  I met him once this way - but as stated, I think the configuration has changed since then.

I'll be there tomorrow ... looking forward to it.

In Topic: Williams new project! "A Timeless Call"

Well, I would have said that about The Unfinished Journey too.

I doubt it will be on CD any time soon, but I think iTunes is a possibility.


Hmmm... I disagree.  I feel that "The Unfinished Journey" was a very fine piece on it's own and that it was obviously going to get a release at some point.

This new piece is quite short and disjointed.  JW would have to arrange concert piece if it were to see an official release of any kind.  Of course, I'd be pleasantly surprised should it be released on it's own.

Got it on Tivo.  It's always great to have some new Williams music regardless of the political nature of this piece.

In my opinion, it was an average Williams effort reminiscent of his political/military style (JFK, BOT4OJ, etc.)  Still very, very good by any standard, and yes, a treat for us JW nerds.

There is no way that this piece will receive a release on it's own, it's not strong enough... that is unless JW arranges a concert piece.
