Off and saw the Wizard
This past Saturday (10-28) my family went to see the Wizard of Oz. I know, I know, why didn't we just watch it on video? Because the Chicago Pops Symphony played the soundtrack live, and in synch with the film. It was fantastic. It was a glimpse into playing musical scores for films.
The other impressive thing was the movie itself. It really holds up to the test of time. It had funny moments without resorting to fart jokes. It had scary moments without having to be macabre or bloody. It had tenderness without needing to be mushy. It was clever without having to beat the viewer over the head. The actors were great, the characters interesting and the story was fun to watch.
Nope, they don't make 'em like this anymore.

The Chicago symphony orchestra should have played Dark Side of the Moon by pink Floyd!
Now THAT would have been a SHOW!
Yeah, in fact they might have at some point. The CSO does lots of cool shows.
It was still cool to "see" the soundtrack.
