Well done Erik. Loving this. I can tell you spent a lot of time on it. Can’t believe there are 5 shows. If someone deserves such attention, it is definitely John Williams.
Thanks TJ! This has been one of the most enjoyable shows I’ve ever produced!
I knew you wouldn’t let this occasion go by unheralded! And what a tribute. This is going to be quite an enjoyable couple of days.
I had a blast producing these shows!
I love this program! :o)
Thank you, Erik!
You’re welcome!
