Williams on Leno and Chewie

I never thought I would live to see the Maestro John Williams on any type of late-night show, let alone Jay Leno. But here we are, 2006, and Johnny still isn't getting the recognition he deserves. He was on with Yo Yo Ma and together they played a little diddy called "Sayuri's Theme" from Memoirs of a Geisha (which, while being a bit bland for my taste, should be greatly respected for its achievement in delicately combining Western motifs with oriental instruments). Yo Yo Ma got most of the recognition, even though it was Williams who did all of the composition. And even more unfortunate is that most people probably think Yo Yo Ma composed all of the music for Memoirs. Tis a sad state of affairs for our nation. Still, it was nice to see two masters of their craft performing together. Hopefully, John Williams will obtain one more new fan. And here's hoping that in March he gets a new friend; namely, his sixth Oscar.

And on an interesting note, it turns out Chewbacca is real and he has his own blog on Blogspot. I added his blog in the links section. I'm not sure which category he would fall under: writer or funny. We'll stick with funny for now.
