- Comment Here's a film music-related fact...... Isaac Hayes wasn't originally meant to write the music for [b]Shaft[/b]: he actually auditioned for the title role, but lost out to Richard Rowntree. But the producers ofered him the writing gig instead.

- Comment I was visiting friends in Brescia - home of the Baretta arms company - in North East Italy. We were walking through the streets when we came across a busker playing panpipes (I kid you not). He did a passable rendition of Morricone's Main Titles to [b]The Good, The Bad and The Ugly[/b].

- Comment Received Barry's [b]Somewhere In Time[/b] last week. Although there aren't many cues on the CD, it's beautiful stuff. By the way, [b]The Lion In Winter[/b] is Barry's own personal favourite. He visits Yorkshire fairly regularly to see family, so if you want to impress him talk about that and NOT ...

- Comment I love the physicality of CDs, in the same way that I love owning books. It's hard to explain if you're a lover of downloads, but it's nice to look at them - and read the liner notes - even if I don't play them. And that applies to all of my music, not just film music.

- Comment [b]A Little Romance[/b] was delivered yesterday. The liner notes freely acknowledge that Delarue used Vivaldi for the "love theme" cues. I'm assuming that he used the piece - rather than writing his own love theme - because Vivaldi was born in Venice, and the love story of the film ...
