Happy 81st Birthday to John Williams

[Probe Droid]

Come on, RPF, give it up for John Williams who turns 81 today! Jaws, Star Wars, Raiders, etc., etc., etc., He, Uncle Geroge, and Ralph McQuarrie are the holy trinity of Star Wars. Have a good one, Johhny.

Did you know that he played that great piano on Henry Mancini's theme to the old Peter Gunn TV show? It was news to me.

Happy birthday to a legend! Hopefully we'll all be lucky enough to see him whip up some new material for the upcoming Star Wars films!

So much great music that has influenced my life so profoundly. You can always tell if it is John Williams. There's just that extra little spark of magic.

Congrats to a legend, indeed.
