Hello,

I am doing a research project on the musical borrowing of Holst's Planets that John Williams used in the Imperial March. I did a search on Google and your message board popped up.

Anyway, I was wondering if I could quote you on your comments for my paper. I would need your name and any information that would identify you as some authority on this subject. It doesn't have to be much, and judging from your comments, it sounds like you have a some sort of musical background.

You can email me at: [email protected]

Thanks,

Dave

I'm afraid I can't claim to be any kind of authority. I don't have a musical background; in fact, I can't read or write a word of music and I sing flat.

If you're still interested in using the quote as...I don't know, anecdotal evidence of popular tastes, then let me know.
