What Harrison Ford Thinks About Music

A couple days ago my wife and I were sitting at the dining table talking about the ‘Indi IV’ scoring sessions. She asked if Harrison Ford had come to any of them.

‘In fact he did,’ I said. ‘And he caused quite a stir.’

We were just back from our first break – we take 10 minute breaks each hour – when in walks this guy bowing and scraping up to John Williams. Naturally we all recognized him right off.

John Williams quickly reached out his hand to Harrison and said, ‘We should be bowing to you, after all, without you we wouldn’t be here.’

‘And without you and your colleagues, I wouldn’t be up there for very long,’ he fired back – he was pointing to the screen.

It was indeed a warm moment. And certainly heartfelt on Harrison’s part.

The fact is the Indiana Jones films have wall to wall music, as I’ve said previously. The scores remind me of opera in many respects; the detail in them is quite extraordinary.

In any case, Tania thought I should relate this little encounter and now you have it.

And speaking of detail, in my Violin Mastery Beginners Circle program you’ll get all the detail you need to emerge a real player at the day.

All the best,
