John Williams scored the movie “The Reivers”, based on William Faulkner’s last novel. James Taylor narrated while Williams conducted the L.A. Philharmonic orchestra. My father did the same narration with Williams in the late 70s. Williams said James Taylor reminds him of my dad. I see why. It was very moving.
Here I am having dinner at the Soho House with Dr. William Helvie and Elizabeth DuPree Lynch. They won the dinner at the Atlanta auction benefiting my stepdaughter, Laura Turner Seydel’s Captain Planet Foundation. Captain Planet was a successful children’s animated TV series about saving the planet created by Ted Turner and Barbara Pyle that will soon be made into a movie at Warner Brothers. The dinner was lots of fun.
