[Fmpro] John Williams documentary

[Mark Holden]

Greetings all--

There's a riveting documentary on John Williams, circa 1980, posted on
YouTube. In six parts, the thrust is the scoring of "The Empire Strikes
Back," but it also discusses a number of films scored by JW to that date.

You'll love the sprockets and analog tape, to be sure! But it's a rare
glimpse into the creative life of a very private man, and I most enjoyed his
cogent commentary on film scoring and other musical subjects.

The link to the first segment is:

If you've not seen this BBC production, it's certainly worth the time. As
advertised, this kind of thing is RARE.
