Movies

During the past few years, we've been watching movies on our large-screen TV and gotten used to the "big" picture and its sound system. Going to the actual movie theater was exciting and the popcorn was better than the microwave cup we've been chawing on! Since I was disappointed with the film, it was a bit of a let down but the movie for next weekend is "Belfast" and I'm looking forward to seeing that.

Oddly, I have a bunch of connections to WSS. In graduate school, I interned for Leonard Bernstein and arranged the "Suite of Dances from West Side Story" for a recording by two pianists and two percussionists, (it was paired with a composition by Bela Bartok). Additionally, I've been Stephen Sondheim's music publisher for 40 years. Lastly, I conducted a two-week run of WSS for a summer stock theater many years ago. So you can see why I have my point of view!

We'll look forward to seeing the films you recommended. I'll let you know what I think!

Enjoy the rest of your week.
