I'm not sure I ever had one... Avatars have always been a bit mystifying to me, for no discernible reason.

Congratulations!
 
I look back at my posts from 20 years ago, and I am embarrassed at my teen attempts at prose, humor, and commentary.
 
Still, this site was critical for my musical thought, and I even went to college for music with fellow JWFans!
 
Then I fell off, but in the past few years had reason to revisit, and it is a testament to this site's value that it remains alive and well!
 
Thank you, all, for sharing your companionship, intellect, and love of music.

" The Wide REIVERS"

There is something deeply satisfying about how this works.

This actually worked a lot better than I was expecting it would. 
 

 
 

That's in my basement now ... but I'm working on getting it displayed where more people might be able to see it in person. 

The Patriot Angela's Ashes Nixon Far and Away Heidi I am ridiculously unfamiliar with most of his non-Spielberg/-series film scores. I almost wanted to include his NBC News or Olympics packages in here, but they might actually qualify as series.
 
Edit: I'm listening to Sleepers right now, a movie I've never seen nor score I've heard. I might need to modify my list.

You know who else was always after Williams' pencils, was William Ross:

Ooh, that is wonderful information! Thank you, Smeltington!
At the same time, I had seen that image, and while I thought it might be the Pentel, it isn't the wooden pencil he was using in the video (which seems to have been identified). I would have still posted
 
For some composers, I'm not sure they worry about their writing implements and paper, but for others, it's a very personal part of their process. I wonder where Williams falls in that. For me, I focus far too much on the stationery and not enough on the music... that's my problem...

We do have the same last name ("Strings"), but mine has lost the space before it.

Has anyone here seen The Shadow? I really like the movie, but not too many people I know have seen it. Goldsmith's score is brilliant. Very dark, but there is a great love theme that lifts you right up. The soundtrack is next to impossible to get because it was discontinued, though it really is great music. I have the score, and I won't sell it, but I am curious to see who else has seen it.

I thought so!
 
Seriously, though, thank you much for this identification.  My three year old is obsessed with the Star Wars music (like his father).  We've played it innumerable times, especially ESB, hence this motif getting stuck in my head.  He can identify many of the big themes.  In the music for Yoda's Death, he could positively identify (without prompting, mind you) "Darth Vader's Theme," "the Main Theme," "Yoda's Theme," and "the Force Theme," after two or three notes each, in succession!  Incidentally, "The Battle of Hoth" makes for great snow-shoveling music.
