The Mozart thing was … awesome … I don’t think you are better than Mozart (no one is, just imagine what he would have done in the 20th century) … but that redo was great. It made me clap … yeah!
We need a score for this one … I would love to follow it.

That was pretty helpful, once again. You kept me hooked the entire hour; I kept cracking up.
By the way, you pronounced “Giacchino” correctly. When I went to the LOST Symphony event, Michael Giacchino introduced himself pronouncing his last name jyah-KEE-noh.
My favorite quotes:
- “Holy cow… I’m better than Mozart!”
- “If you don’t have a melody sense then I’m sorry, you can never be a composer. You should just quit now and never try to do it, ’cause it cannot be taught; it’s innate. And there’s no hope for you at all so stop trying.”
- “If you have a question, you can always email me… or pray to me and maybe I’ll hear it.. after I die.”
