Only one Goldsmith piece!

What a travesty, i'm not gonna cross the atlantic just for that!

Of course not. :)

I'd love to know what's included in the Herrmann tribute. Probably a musical montage of my movies no doubt.

In 2003 at the Boston Pops, Chronicle Scherzo was performed during a short Herrmann tribute. I'm betting it's represented again in Chicago. Care to make a wager on it old man?

And don't ever call me obtuse again, my golden friend.

Hitch, Stefancos and Orson. Your word play is so fascinating to watch. It is an art form unto itself. Kudos!

You have kept me entertained for a long time with these jibes, snides and witticisms.

Ode to Orson

Obtuse o Obese Orson orbiting on high.

Why thank you lardass, with the triple chinny chin chin.

Orson, who literally hears Hitch the pot, calling the kettle black with the corpulent cracks.

I'll attend the concerts on the 26th and the 29th and both will feature the same program... well, I'm noit going to complain anyway. I only regret to not have the possibility to hear THE REIVERS and the tribute to Herrmann (I bet he'll play RAIDERS and E.T. in the encores). It's the first time I'll see John Williams conducting, so it's better to hear the same concert twice than not hearing anything! :wave:

Anyway, I can't wait to hear the Jaws fugue, War of the Worlds, Close Encounters... and of course Star Wars and Harry Potter as well... I really hope he'll encore the Superman March! :nono:

We are all one big happy fleet. Although it is not our job to entertain you. :music:

P.S. Thanks for placing my name before those other 2 members. Much appreciated. Your transfer of $1 is on its way to you.

But of course your name is there first. That was obvious when I wrote it. Well this suck up scheme of mine is beginning to work :P Dollars will be pouring by the end of the year. Hey I could The Mouth of Hitch (I hope you understand my LOTR based jokes even appaling they may be!) Proclaiming your glory and all that! :)

BTW I meant what I said about your word play. Such refined art.
