Hi everyone!

Today's the birthday of one of the most influential film composers in history, John Williams
His scores include Jaws, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, E.T., Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Harry Potter, Superman and many, many more.
I'm sure that pretty much everybody knows some of his work.
He is my favorite composer of all time and his music is really important to me, since I'm a big music and movie fan.

So, Happy Birthday, John Williams! You are a legend! 🙂

My personal favorite is his score to The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
It's probably one of his less known works, but I absolutely love it!
