Popular Post Tom 4,640 Posted April 28, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2016 As mentioned on the main page, the recent Indy Cast is devoted to an interview with Gloria Cheng. Perhaps Richard is too humble to mention it, but she discusses the important role JWfan played in helping her Kickstarter campaign for Montage.

lairdo 726 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Thanks Ricard for posting the podcast link. Yes, Gloria was quite thankful of being at the top of the site for a while! It was cool to hear how that worked out. Ricard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 The one-page story was funny. Nice sense of humor that John Williams has. Loert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that part of the interview "I was unaware that John Williams is a rock star" (Gloria Cheng) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 4,640 Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 It seems reasonable that she would have mentioned to Williams himself that JWfan was instrumental in making Montage happen. that is kind of cool. Ricard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I just hope that he didn't read any of the forum. My posts aren't meant to be seen by John Williams' eyes! mrbellamy and Ricard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 The whole interview is great, everyone is very lively, and I love the little part of her playing the piano for Rey's Theme in the background too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loert 2,510 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I loved this interview so much! Nice to hear so many great insights from Gloria Cheng. The hosts were great (I thought the "fan-gasm" after Cheng left the podcast was hilarious!) I think I'm going to have to listen to some of the other episodes. And it was interesting to hear Cheng mentioning how JWFan helped in making "Montage" popular - that was actually how I came to know about the project, before I became a member here.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I believe she mentions wanting to hear Randy Newman himself perform the pieces he composed for her, well here he is performing one of the movements on George Gershwin's piano at the Library of Congress: This is clearly off-the-cuff and unrehearsed, but still neat.

Incanus 5,713 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 All around a fascinating talk with some keen insight into the music of not only John Williams but other composers represented on the Montage album. And you have to love the Cheng's little shout out to JWFan, which Ricard's site surely deserves as the first and foremost fan and news site for the "rock star" Maestro.
