    Disappointing news.. he is my favorite film composer!

    I have always really enjoyed the melody of this score, starting at 1:32:

    Saw this… so sad. Loved his music and it was an inspiration for me to learn how to compose.

    Aliens, An American Tail, Willow, The Land Before Time, Field of Dreams, Glory, The Rocketeer, Patriot Games, The Pelican Brief, Braveheart, Apollo 13, Jumanji, Titanic, A Beautiful Mind, Troy, Avatar, and the list goes on. I really had no idea the depth of his catalog and talent. May he rest in peace.

    Yes, this is a very sad event. Many wonderful scores. “A Beautiful Mind” is one of my favorites.

    I don’t know if there is any interest here in learning more about what happened, but here is the NTSB Preliminary Report. It usually takes the NTSB a year or longer to issue their final findings, and the report changes from Preliminary to Probable Cause.

    One of the first things I said to Robin when I heard this was that I had a feeling it was an experimental plane. Turns out it was. Similar to the the same class as John Denver’s plane that went down. Very sad.

    It is very sad. I’ve been reading that he was a skilled pilot with a passion for flying.

    Just a note on experimental category airplanes. “Experimental” simply means that the airplane was not mass produced in a factory. All experimental category aircraft must be registered with the FAA and pass a stringent airworthiness inspection conducted by the FAA. The plane MUST pass this inspection before it can be issued an airworthiness certificate and legally fly

    I just found out about this. Whilst I was looking it up I also found out that BB King, Ben E King, Percy Sledge and Mike Porcaro died in the last few weeks. I am in total shock. Rest In Peace you giants of music.
