POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Thursday saw our annual @_the_scl Member Meeting, with reports from the chapters and committees. President Ashley Irwin also talked about the organization's behind-the-scenes work in Washington, advocating for creator's rights. And we were treated to a conversation on the evoultion of score with @jonburlingame001, who's a fountain of film music and film music history knowledge. Always amazing and fun to hear stories like Strawinsky handing in a score written to the script without the movie being made yet, to how technology changed film music over the decades.

Part 2:
At the same time 1991 in the US as the THIRD single of Gloria Estefan's album "Into the Light" was released "Can't Forget You". 😍 A wonderful ballad as well.
Here also live at The Tonight Show on July 18th 1991.
At the end Gloria jokes about her airport security ...😂❤️
