Fm: DARRAN WILLIAMS
Joe,
A little while ago on a conference on CI$ you were asked by someone when the
sequence from the opening titles featuring a Starfury blowing away another
Starfury would be shown. I think your reply was along the lines of *soon*.
I presumed that this had been taken from Severed Dreams but that particular
scene never appears. Is it a case that this scene was created long before the
effects for Severed Dreams and subsequently not included or is it still to come
?

No, I think the intent of my message was that it was a foreshadowing of
the big fight around B5 in "Severed," not that that particular shot was going
to be used.

PMFJI - will there be more CDs of B5 music? I've got the 'symphonic' one & it's
really good (has similarities to Vangelis).
Are there going to be other writers in next season's eps? I can't imagine you
lasting long if you write another whole season! Just curious - having one
writer - and the creator - in charge produces one sort of series; having others
produces another sort.

Chris is looking to have the new 2nd volume of B5 music out in time to
coincide with the November sweeps; I've heard the first 15 minutes, and it's
great.

Joe,
PMFJI too - the last time I looked at Sonic Images web site they were still
requesting suggestions for music on the second CD. Is the October release date
still on schedule as I expect Chris must also be busy preparing to score season
4?

I think they're going to go closer to November, to capitalize on the PR
for the sweeps.

No, the major mailings aren't over, they're still going out. Everyone
who signed on will get/is getting their stuff. He's had a lot of email to
contend with, but I do know that a lot of folks are a) getting their stuff, and
b) getting email replies. He's getting to it.
jms
<<<
Could you let us know when the major mailings are over, or when to contact him?
I've attempted to e-mail him on 5 separate occasions and gotten only one
response (canned). I contacted Elisabeth (at the same e-mail response), copied
you in, and received a response but she replied, "I need to know your full
name" which was plainly printed in the email as; Tom_M_General. I responded
with the same information, knowing there was a pretty good chance I'd never
hear from her again. I haven't heard from her.
So, what do I do? How long should I wait? When will the mailings be completed
(mostly completed). But Joe, you are wrong, they AREN'T answering all the
e-mail. They certainly aren't answering mine. I don't *want* to be a pest. I
just *want* to know:
A: When should I expect the stuff.
B: What should I do when it doesn't show up.
I've followed up with people who you have told to contact via the AOL account
and some of them have NOT received their stuff or replies from the AOL account.
I understand your folks are swamped, but dog-gone-it Joe, this just goes on and
on (how many months now?)... Come on, how much longer?
Jeeesh!

<< I don't know if commemorate is the right word for what you're
asking... you wanna take another stab at that and clarify? This can cover
everything from Tuckerizing to homage to using friends or whatever. >>
Sorry. The antecedent thought processes were a bit baroque. This question was
prompted by the fact that a good friend was facing the 1-year anniversary of
her husband's death. So, I suppose I meant "commemorate" in the way the post
office does -- recognizing those who have died.

life is made up of the times you remember.

"So, I suppose I meant "commemorate" in the way the post office does --

Specific persons, no. I don't do that. Never have. I think, in the
case of someone I know who's passed away, it would be rude. I don't think I
could handle it. Over the years I've lost way too many friends, and some
wounds never entirely heal. Best to leave them alone, and remember those
friends as they were, not as they were bent into fictionalizations.

What is the title of the TZ anthology? I would be interested in trying to find
