Home Stretch

We are in the home stretch of our Kickstarter to record early 1980s James Horner TV movie scores. We are touching $30K of our $45K goal—with the stretch goal (to add Faerie Tale Theatre) being $50K.

Two things I want to share...

One is what a lifelong fascination I’ve had with Horner’s music, which I am sure is shared by many. I’m especially drawn to his early works—maybe because of the more traditional aesthetics of the era, or nostalgia for my own youth, but I remember so vividly what it was like to discover his scores. He just seemed to have a gift for melody, for drama, and for connecting with the human ear and heart. I’m so looking forward to recording these three little-known scores: A Few Days in Weasel Creek, Angel Dusted and A Piano for Mrs. Cimino.

The other is that I do not take lightly the amount of projects that compete for fans’ attention. Between CDs, fundraisers and the like, there can be a lot. I’ve always put a lot of thought into what I wanted to do, and what the community could support. I’ve probably followed my heart, not my head, more than I should for my own bank account. But I’ve always felt that money comes and goes—it’s the time that you can’t get back! Making the effort to record and preserve these scores is worth it to me—and very grateful to the 400+ donors so far.

If you’ve been waiting until the end—this is the end! I’m pretty sure this album will be enticing to fans, so if you can basically pre-order a copy through the campaign—we need you! We’re live through Thursday at 11:59PM, Pacific time. Please donate!

Thank you!
