John Barry

R.I.P.



I remember seeing You Only Live Twice when it first came out and the opening sequence blew me away.

Brilliant film scores.

Hello again blog

First post of 2011.

Brief pause partly because the computer threw a wobbly between Christmas and the new year. Fortunately my knight in shining armour aka my son rode to my rescue.

Used my WH Smith giftcard to buy Bill Bryson's At Home.



Got several ideas for my Amazon gift card, Hybrid's Disappear Here and Johann Johannsson are at the top of the list.
