JC0155 0 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Last July, after seeing his performance in Pittsburgh in April, I wrote a letter to John Williams to show my admiration of his musical legacy. It's been 2.5 months and I haven't received any mail updates from him. I understand he is too busy to write any music and the agency does the writing, which is what I'm worried about. So how long am I supposed to wait for this and should I be worried that the agency will just send the letter to me and not the maestro himself? It's stressing me out.

bollemanneke 3,337 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Don't even hold your breath. I wrote them two years ago asking for a digital way to buy his sheet music. Never a reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW doesn't reply personally to fan letters. It's fair to assume that he reads them, though, and you can be sure he will be pleased to read yours. If you asked for an autograph, the agency usually reply and will send a signed photo. It might take several months, so be patient. enderdrag64, Andy, BB-8 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SilverTrumpet 638 Posted September 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2022 When I was a kid I wrote a letter to John Williams asking if I could play on the Phantom Menace soundtrack and the agency sent me a signed photo and some articles or something about him. It was very nice. BB-8, GerateWohl and enderdrag64 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTGL 166 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I tried it 3 years ago. In July this year I got the letter back with REFUSED on it. 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerateWohl 4,326 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I am wondering, why someone as uncommunicative as JC0155 (even in his own thread), is expecting others to answer his mail. Chewy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"[JW] is too busy to write any music" is either a bizarrely misaligned observation (e.g. one that comes from a poorly trained bot) or rather a serious typo. I'm happy to retract this and apologize once JC0155 gets their toes wet and proves not to be a bot, but it's getting harder and harder to tell.

Chewy 2,372 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I wouldn't call that rude, but being blamed for not having posted for a few days and be treated like a bot is not the best possible welcome, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Well... the German JWFans have their own manner ins and Chewy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerateWohl 4,326 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Sorry for my bad manners. But posting a question in a forum, getting well minded helpful answers and not even pressing the like button or not even posting a "thank you" are bad manners in my view, too. But this might really be a cultural thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 So there's no hard feelings, I could also crack a joke about how the French are too easily offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerateWohl 4,326 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 No hard feelings here as well. But I believe JC0155 is a bot or has the manners of a bot. If He turns out to be a sensitive human being just with login problems to the forum, I will apologize for my evil insinuations. Funny. When charming flirting ladies suddenly appear in the forum, everyone believes, it's a bot. If a guy with a weird question and No sign of social skills appears, everyone believes, it's a soundtrack collector. Martinland 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point taken — I also apologize for jumping the gun, that's definitely premature of me. Come to think of it, my horrendous self-introduction jokes ("heard this place was all about Bill Ross and the guy who did Scarlet One") might have been mistaken for botspam 🤔 Chewy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
