I met John Williams once in LA at an LA Phil concert when he was walking around at the intermission. He was surrounded by a bunch of musicians from Venezuela that were there to see the concert as it was a collaboration with the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra.
I was dying of panic to come forward to him but this is the guy who wrote the Superman theme. How could I not?
I realized then that he was with his daughter and I made my way towards them and said: maestro, I don't mean to bother you, but I just need to say that you wrote the soundtrack of my childhood. Every time I hear the Superman theme, I turn 8. I wanna thank you for that.
He then looked at me and with a kindness I cannot even describe, he held my hand with both his hands and said in a santa like voice while sincerely looking at me in the eyes: oh you're such a kind young man! Thank you for your words!
His daughter, also super kind, said: would you like me to take a picture of you two?
You bet I said yes.
They thanked me again and went about their day.
It is one of my life's greatest moments and one who taught me, no matter how big, kindness always goes first.

There are no words that can express how truly amazing John Williams is. Every single day I've listened to his music, throughout childhood, through school years into adulthood and now in my 30s. Each track is as magnificent as it was the first day I heard it and was mesmerised as a kid. He creates magic. Thank you John Williams!

" Without John Williams, bikes don’t really fly, nor do brooms in Quidditch matches, nor do men in red capes,there is no Force, dinosaurs do not walk the Earth, we do not wonder, we do not weep, we do not believe." said Steven Spielberg .
We were lucky enough to have such beautiful childhood years. What makes them more beautiful is that most of our vivid childhood memories, dreams, silly thoughts about extraordinary things, characters and heroes outside of this world and reality are magically accompanied with the timeless music this great man has composed. A masterfully crafted soundtrack of our childhood that we will pleasantly look back on for years to come.
Thank you Mr Williams

As Steven Spielberg said of him: "Without John Williams, bikes don't fly, nor do brooms in Quidditch matches, nor do men in capes. There is no Force. Dinosaurs do not walk the earth. We do not wonder, we do not weep, we do not believe".
He is a cinematic phenomenon. When you actually look at the film scores that he's done, not only are they incredible, but every one of his scores either enhanced the film, or dare I say it, makee the film.
His impact on cinema and audiences is immeasurable. Thank you, John. You made my childhood, and made me fall in love with movies.

92 years old and his mind is still sharp! Making music keeps him alive.
