Jim Ware 638 Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 On February 5th 1999, John Williams began recording the score for The Phantom Menace. That same day a small website dedicated to the music of that film appeared on the internet. That site has grown and grown to become the definitive source of John Williams news and information on the web.Long may it continue.Happy Birthday JWFan.net!(and happy birthday to Jim Ware )

nightscape94 968 Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 Ah the memories. And yet, so many things that probably should be expunged from it. But here's to the year ahead, may it bring many beautiful and inspiring notes!nightsacpe94 - who noticed that the post started on Feb 4th, but forgives the mere 22 min jump on such a special occasion.

Hlao-roo 390 Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 A shade early, but with so much going on this Tuesday (relatives' birthdays, Super Tuesday, Mardi Gras) I wanted to get this out here before it gets lost in the shuffle. Here's to 9 years of various incarnations of the JOHN WILLIAMS Fan Network, and a happy birthday to Jim Ware (whom many of us recognize, along with John Takis, as a cornerstone of the community).
