Popular Post Jim 6,196 Posted February 8, 2017 Popular Post Posted February 8, 2017 A great age by any measure, made all the more impressive by the Maestro's continued creativity, which out-matches that of many far younger men. Happy birthday! 🎂 Cerebral Cortex, Not Mr. Big and Naïve Old Fart 3

Naïve Old Fart 12,749 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 I'm listening to the John Williams hour, on Classic FM. Now playing: SUPERMAN. Magnificent! Bespin Copilot 1
bollemanneke 4,292 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Why did I miss that hour on Classic FM? Damn work experience appointment... Happy birthday, Maestro! I was somehow convinced his birthday was in May...

Happy birthday, Maestro! I was somehow convinced his birthday was in May... Off the top of my head, you missed JURASSIC PARK, REY'S THEME, THE RAIDERS' MARCH, SUMMON THE HEROES, ACCROSS THE STARS, and FLIGHT TO NEVERLAND. There's two more hours of JW music, tonight, on Classic FM, the Radio 2 show, on Friday, of course, and I'd expect Andrew Collins to mark his birthday, on Saturday (Radio 3 has a programme on William Alwyn). bollemanneke 1
Jim 6,196 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 I just caught Rey's Theme at a little past 8am. Think they might have opened with it.
Will 2,393 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 85, and still composing, and, perhaps more amazingly, conducting! Wow. I'll be sure to play "Happy Birthday Variations" later, of course. Here's to the next few years, maestro! Cerebral Cortex 1

Mari 279 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Happy 85th birthday to the Maestro! Continuing an annual tradition -- Happy Birthday, Alan (Hlao-roo).
Maurizio 6,885 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Happy 85th Birthday, Maestro. And thank you for all the joy you continue to bring to my life. Here's to many more years of amazing music!
Popular Post Jay 45,378 Posted February 8, 2017 Popular Post Posted February 8, 2017 Mike Matessino says John Williams will be celebrating his 85th birthday with a small gathering of close friends in the general vicinity of a Steinway. No fanfares other than the ones he composes. Then, no doubt, it will be right back to work. Doing what he does keeps him doing what he does. Happy Birthday, Maestro, and many more -- it's not only your music that inspires! https://www.facebook.com/mike.matessino/posts/10210485646112909 Maurizio, crumbs, Cerebral Cortex and 2 others 5
KK 3,310 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Happy 85th birthday to the maestro! There are few who inspire as he does! To many more years of that to come!

Miguel Andrade 1,706 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 My heartfelt wish of a joyous day to the maestro, a man whose nature and dedication to his art is a true inspiration, along with the countless hours of music, which have provided even more hours of joy to so many of us. Will 1

mrbellamy 7,925 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 There are two 85 year old men who have made a profound impact on my life. One is my grandfather, the other is Mr. Williams. Both are in fabulous company. Happy birthday, Maestro! Here's to another 85! Will 1

LOL I literally came onto this board this afternoon to post the exact same comment, with the exact same wording!! (as a revision of my earlier comment "Here's to the next few years," which in hindsight was not quite optimistic enough ) Guess I can't now!
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,922 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 You probably will live for over 185 years Will, since your soul and memories will end up on a Cloud somewhere. Will 1
FC4L 89 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Wish the author would do another and include as much of his other works as possible, but this is still a very go-to video for me. Andy 1
igger6 1,035 Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Wow, two songs into the amazing Boston Pops stream, and I just heard "Pops on the March" for the first time ever! I thought I was past discovering completely new Williams pieces, especially a rollicking one like that. What a great JW Day present from the Maestro! Newbies, if you haven't heard this one, check it out. The stream narrator(!) says he composed it as a posthumous memorial for Arthur Fiedler, after declining Fiedler's request for an honorary composition before he died (due to film obligations). Can't believe I wasn't aware of this piece!
King Mark 3,911 Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 I never liked Pops on the March Happy Birthday JW and most of all good heath to come for many years
