The podcast is back and I am joined by special guest David L. Gill. The subject: silent film music, the good and the bad.
A huge thanks to Orlando and Alex for helping my pronounce Chilean Spanish and Egyptian Arabic!

I wish TCM hadn’t done away with their Young Film Composers Competition. Good scoring is so important and that program not only spotlighted young talents, it gave young people a chance to be involved in a genre that isn’t usually associated with young people.
Agreed! It was a wonderful idea.
The Young Film Composers Competition was surely one of the best things TCM has ever sponsored. I taped most of the scores & have done pretty well replacing them on disc when I could. Some were a bit too idiosyncratic for my taste but most were quite wonderful.
Yes, truly a wonderful opportunity.
