^ RUMINT from a band director colleague is that Sibelius may also be on its way out. If that were to happen, we would have a Highlander situation in the professional score writing app world.

This is EARTH SHATTERING news for the #musicproduction world. All of my fellow composers and arrangers out there: you need to see this.

I'm not sure how I feel about Old Tom Bombadil. I think it's a great song, but not sure it really fits the carefree and cheerful nature of his character.

EDIT:
I just listened to the Reprise of this song, sung by the actors who actually play Tom and The Stranger (aka Blue Wizard 1) in the show. This is much better in style, with a lilt and bounce that is right on. Rufus's version will likely be used for closing credits.

Be careful if you start playing saxophone on a NYC subway, because there's a non-zero chance another sax player will challenge you to a battle.

This is why you don't believe rumors on the internet, friends.

Well now, that was a spicy arrangement.

They need to show us more spots of the house band, because these guys kick ass.

I really want to hear them bust out some Earth Wind & Fire or Tower of Power.

Alternative #DNC Playlist Thread

The DNC has drawn a lot of attention for their playlist this week. They have certainly picked some good ones, but this thread is for songs we would like to hear played there, even though they certainly would never get picked.

I'll start.
