I won't say that this will be my last post. I'm enjoying it too much, and anyway, there's still a day to go. Officially. And I hope that, in some wonderfully spooky way, the faith sent up by this little community of common interest will stay with me... (Read More)
48 Hours
February 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
It's not difficult to thank friends and colleagues with whom we share a piece of history, a professional community, or a passion. However tongue-tied we may feel in the face of their generosity, we can find words by reference to common experience.... (Read More)
Elmer's Children
January 31st - via: kickstarter.com
There are 3 days left of this quixotic campaign, and although there's still a pretty steep path for my wagons to climb, I have a lot of new help...and maybe even a bit of a blessing. Some of you who've worked or taken classes with me know how much... (Read More)
Oh, Lucky Man
January 30th - via: kickstarter.com
Even if I'm short of my Kickstarter goal by the time the clock strikes midnight next Thursday morning, the book will have been blessed by the support of so many extraordinary composers, whose number now includes the redoubtable Patrick Doyle. My... (Read More)
JP JOINS THE WAGON TRAIN
January 28th - via: kickstarter.com
Some of those who've supported my fledgling campaign are people I know like brothers or sisters. Others I know mostly through the quality of their work, the support they've shown my students, or the professional courtesy they've show me as a... (Read More)
The Sweet Hereafter
January 26th - via: kickstarter.com
If you were writing a book about contemporary painters and financing it with a Kickstarter campaign, I can imagine that it would be a great shot of moral support to receive backing from, say, David Hockney (although in the art department, I'm quite... (Read More)
He Is Legend
January 18th - via: kickstarter.com
One of my great hopes for SCORING THE SCREEN is that its message about the critical storytelling values music brings to film and other visual media will resonate beyond its immediate readership in the composer community and begin to affect the way... (Read More)
the kindness of strangers

Let's see...how to put this in the most optimistic light? As of today, I'm only $965 away from being one-third of the way to my goal! 17 days isn't a lot of time to close that gap, but then again, 17 days can be a lifetime. The generosity of the... (Read More)
Not Fade Away
January 13th - via: kickstarter.com
I can already see that I'm never going to be able to acknowledge everyone who helps me on this journey without inundating your inboxes with updates. You all get enough of those. But I do want to give a nod to two new pledges whose kindness embodies... (Read More)
Westward, Ho, The Wagons
January 13th - via: kickstarter.com
Well, after last night's posting of the THEME FROM EXODUS, I briefly considered changing my journey metaphor to Israel crossing Sinai, but in view of today's events, I think I'll stick with the wagon train. It brought me good luck. In the heyday of... (Read More)
Jan 13 Addendum
January 12th - via: kickstarter.com
Lest I forget, another one of my heroes has joined the caravan. Composer Don Davis, whose work will be the subject of a chapter (I hope I'm up to the task of transcribing all those 32nd notes). And in this case, I can actually add some audio! (Read More)
First Update: Jan 13

Dear Backers? That sounds a little stiff. How about just: Dear Friends, This is my first update. They tell me I have 22 days left to get this covered wagon through the Donner Pass. I'm happy, grateful, and honored to say that some very... (Read More)
