[Fmpro] Catch Me If You Can Score

[bipcress@comcast.net]

Sometimes the cultural efforts of the past are better than what happens 
contemporaneously. Of course the reverse can also occur: 70s sartorial 
fashion was inferior to what followed - and to what preceded (and no doubts 
about it). Or: painting of the 1980s (neo-expressionism) was superior to 
painting trends of the 70s (all brain, no flesh). There is no way anyone 
could dissuade me from believing that film music of the past is not superior 
to most (not all) of what is being created now. A general trend (please, 
Dear God) to reference past "styles" would be a positive development in 
scoring. Any way I can hear some of your stuff Pete? - JohnB
