Mari 279 Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 When does the Kennedy Center Honors air?December 21st.Here's an article with more info about last night's concert: http://washingtontimes.com/metro/20041206-...22729-8264r.htmHmm ... Steven Spielberg introduced JW, Itzhak Perlman performed the theme from Schindler's List and Leonard Statkin led the U.S. Marine Band in a medley of JWs best scores.It's nice to know that my speculations weren't too far off the mark after all.

Dr. Jones 0 Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Yes he looks pretty thin indeed. Another thing I've noticed is the way his voice sounded in that NBC featurette (but also in the very short "Terminal" interview). It sounded, well as my mum sad, like fading away.... ...she said that in such a sad way..But when rehearsing the Orchestra for the NBC News theme his voice is just as clear and present as it has always been.

Morlock 11 Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 The man's getting in shape. I think that's is a good sign, not a bad one. I think his voice is just hoarse, he's not sick or anything. He's got good genes on his mother's side. I wouldn't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 And let's not forget that the music is as vivacius as ever- HP 3 is as fresh a score as JW's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxbabe 28 Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 An alum from my university is a trumpet player in the President's Own. Wow, what a job.He's an amazing player, well-deserved. He also is one of the taps players for Arlington National Cemetery.I'd love it if the Marine Band would release a recording of their 205th anniversary concert with Williams last year. Who knows, they have a couple of releases every year.It'll be neat watching JW's reactions to the tribute, if he gets teary eyed, etc. That's my favorite part of Kennedy Center Honors.And seeing the whole place give a standing ovation, at the end of tribute, turned back toward him clapping and cheering.That will be awesome.

Lurker 5 Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 HP 3 is as fresh a score as JW's done.Epsecially the parts that are reminiscent of Close Encounters and the sections lifted from TPM and the "Sinfonietta for Wind Ensemble".

Eplicon 53 Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 [For those that didn't get it,I thought his medal looked like the gay pride flag,not that Williams looked effeminate or anything like that....Metrosexual.My local news show a little bit of the pre-event, and Williams does look like a bit trimmer these days. There weren't really any on-camera interviews since the anchor talked over the brief footage. You could briefly see him doing one of that surpised looks as he walked in with his wife.

John Crichton 4 Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I won't worry about Williams health until:a. We get official word of something wrong.b. He starts cancelling public appearances for no official reason. Always a sign of failing health.He looks very good for a man of 72 years. And his work has not suffered.

Morlock 11 Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Well, his dad died relativley young. Supposedly, his mother is still lucid at that age, and I think these things tend to coem from the mother's side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
