Thank you so much, Tim. It has been a true pleasure for me to research hidden clues and bits about John's early years and to support you and your book with the details. Anytime again:-)
John Williams' time in High School and in the Air Force as well as his early years in the studio during the 1950s & 60s have always fascinated me, and it is a great fortune that you had the opportunity to talk extensively with John about this phase of his life and also to hear some anecdotes from other companions, like Bill Peterson. This fills in important gaps that would no longer be possible in this form in a few years.
It is wonderful that you share so many personal stories about the creation of the book in the series 'Behind the Moon' with us, as well as giving insights into your collaboration with John and the biography. The anticipation for the book release is thus increasing weekly!
I know I haven't even got my hands in the first edition yet, but I'd buy a second edition including an authoritative, exhaustive list of all of Williams' studio credits in a heartbeat!

I'm *really* excited about next week's post!
This is all truly fascinating, and I cannot wait for more. It’s also an honor to learn more about the Maestro’s service in the Air Force.
Does John shows up on the final version of the Frankie Laine documentary. Need to hunt it down.
As always, another wonderful entry with some little new tidbits of information to prepare us to your book.
He does! I can't remember how much of his interview they included, but that's how I discovered it.
Found it! It's on YouTube: https://youtu.be/6fb4ki0UKFk?si=9lojFneqrJ1v9Pdo
