Happy B'day Elin!  And yes, on the topic of weird name spellings, I've heard it all. In fact, my name has been mis-spelled on virtually every milestone in my career. The first time I played in a piano recital, the first I performed an orchestral piece, the first time I scored a student film, etc. I think the first time I scored a TV episode was also the first time they got my name right. Funny story about the first student film I did... the director went out of his way to double check the spelling of my last name. "So, there's to C's?" "Yup." "And the first one is capitalized?" "Yup" "So, it's M-c-C, right?" "Yup, we're all good." Then, at the premiere of the film at the big USC movie theater (the first time my name would ever appear on the BIG SCREEN!!) I see this: "MUSIC BY Behr McCreary" The director never even asked how to spell my FIRST name! So funny. No hard feelings, though. We ended up rooming together for years. In fact, I scored all of BSG Season 1 and 2 while we were sharing an apartment in West LA.  I'm rambling now. Gotta get back to work. -Bear

And today the honors go to our Frenchie Frédéric... Congratulations Frédéric  Or in French: Joyeux anniversaire, cher Frédéric. Mes félicitations et à tout bientôt j’espère, peut-être en France? Je vais rejoindre mes parents à Fauch du 14 jusqu’à le 28 Janvier… On ne sait jamais, n’est-ce pas ? And back to English, it's nice o have such a wide group of people spread across the world, no?

Within a community around a particular focus (Bear's music, here), you still get the most amazingly varied, oddball, and thus fascinating, collections of people.

Dear Bear:
I hope your birthday is filled with, love, joy, music, gifts, sun, Starbucks, video games, your favorite meal, a great night’s sleep, love from Raya, wishes, friends, something shiny, a fast car, a great movie, sumptuous food, a hug, something you just learned, a sense of well being, chocolate, to hear from someone you’ve missed, absolute hysterical laughter, a baby’s smile, and all the happy thoughts you can imagine!
Thank you so much for sharing your creative process and your profound love for music! I’m so glad you were born.
