    Just playing some vintage LPs I got last week, one is an album of movie music by Alfred Newman ( Randy Newman’s father ) and bless me but the album starts with the fanfare of 20th Century Fox, it appears Newman wrote it!! I was not expecting to hear that .

    The album also has a booklet with “movie stills”, I like the one of swashbuckling pirate Tyrone Power. 😹

        Omg a friend of mine in high school had the Any Requests album and we used to love the John and Marsha song, among others. A great talent.

      Last two albums. Segovia plays Bach, maybe I just don’t like his guitar but I prefer Williams or Julian Bream playing Bach.

      And the Maya guitar music went in the bin, it sounded like the worst musak.
