eldritchhobbitJust today I was listening to one of my all-time favorite soundtracks, John Barry's Academy Award winning score for The Lion in Winter. I then went online only to learn that John Barry died yesterday.
R.I.P., composer John Barry, father of the James Bond theme, the scores for The Lion in Winter, Born Free, Dances with Wolves, and Out of Africa, and so many other excellent works.
