HI BRUCE
Like the Donald I “tell it as it is” and I will unequivocally praise Joel for his appraisals of opera music that I have read.
The late great Joel would appreciate any kind words…I am sure he is sorry for saying those awful things about Marlon Brando and John Wayne…..lol. The three of them could be in heaven, drinking beers and talking about the good days..
Hey Bob and Steve….Hey Steve and Bob……yes….Joel Hirschhorn was involved in 2 of the 16 Barbara Harris movies listed…..and yes…they were in the musical department. Currently we have musical pages on only 3 musicians. But they are the greats….Hans Zimmer, John Williams and Joel. Heck as Bob has pointed out…Joel even has written a book on song writing….what a great man….sharing his knowledge to the general public like that. It is always good to put the spotlight on Joel’s most awesome career. I recently read that the Hirschhorn Musuem was opening in Belfast…..lol.
This comment is actually in respond to some comments found on our Geraldine Page….but my responses seems to be better suited on our Barbara Harris page.
