John Williams concert

[Scully931]

Hi,

I had to post about somthing funny that happened Friday night. I 
went to see John Williams conducting the Pittsburgh Pops. They were 
playing his movie music including a four song Harry Potter section. 
It was a fabulous concert. But, something kind of um... disturbing 
happened. John Williams himself was introducing the Harry Potter 
section. He said, "The first song is called 'Hedwig's Theme.' It's 
about Harry's pet... owl. I think it's an owl. Well, whatever. His 
big white bird." Ok, that was bad enough. You could hear murmers 
going through the audience. THEN, he said, "And next we have the 
piece called 'Nimbus 2000,' which is about Harry's magic wand." 8-0 
The whole audience started whispering to one another in amazment. He 
didn't seem to notice, though. I couldn't believe it! I mean, he 
wrote the darn thing. It was really funny... and a little 
disturbing. But, overall, a great concert.
