I copied this off my regular Journal, I thought I should post it here as my first blog entry:
Just a Small taste of my Interest
I was raised in a home where music was somehow appreciated in some form. My father had collections of old records such as the Magic Flute, and Mendelssohn. My interest in classical music has flourished all due respect to my bringing up. Recently I’ve been listening to a lot of film compositions. Which leads me to believe that musical scores can be a little underestimated. Some artists such as Philip Glass deserve a respectable praise and award of appreciation. It seems to me that the only real types of composition (since the turn of the 20th century) come from artists that create music for film. If this interests you, click on the links below.

Just for fun:
John Carpenter’s collection of Film music is really fun to listen to.
