Hey folks it's Laird jumping in before we get to Special 49 on the Magic of John Williams.

Today we're going to cover Far and Away and as you'll hear we also talk about some news with

Miss Anna Sophie Mooter who's friend of the show and partner,

a collaborator, friend of the Maestro John Williams.

Unfortunately, between the time we recorded and when I finished editing, we learned that Ms.

Muader had contracted COVID-19 and she is quarantining at home.

She posted a video on her Facebook page announcing this a few days ago

and we grab that audio and we're going to play it for you here so you can hear

directly how she's doing and hopefully all of you will send warm wishes and good cheer for a speedy

recovery on her part. She's quite optimistic and you'll hear you know her thoughts just in

general I thought it was an interesting place to and you'll hear her thoughts just in general.

I thought it was an interesting place to start so we can hear directly from someone who's been on the show before

who is immediately impacted by this as perhaps some of you are or many of you are in your families yourselves or

friends and other people that you know. So we hope everyone is taking care of

themselves and we look forward to bring you more specials.

In the meantime, here's Ms. Mutter,

and then we'll go right into the show,

which starts with the opening of Far and Away,

which is most of our time today on the show so enjoy.

Hi dear friends and fans I'm pretending here that my office at home is totally in order

but only from what you are seeing otherwise everything is a big mess but now we all

have time to clean up our flats and spend time with our loved ones and you know that I'm with you in spirit
