Update. Tarin writes: Hidalgo is actually called “Yam Shel Esh” in Israel which means “Sea Of Fire”, which as I understand is the name of the competition in the movie.

I noticed that they’ve just added a fourth concert date for Thursday, June 3. For those of us in the southeastern US, this is our only chance to see this concert. Its my understanding that tickets are going very fast. Thanks.” [More]

The question was under the category “Authors’ Middle Names” and the clue was something like: This author has the middle names Ronald and Reuel. The lady wagered $2000 and thankfully got it right.

Greetings,

I saw a report at Theonering.net about Miller Park, the stadium that is home to baseball’s Milwaukee Brewers playing music from FOTR.

I wanted to go ahead and clarify the accuracy of the report for you…

My name is Colin Deval, I am the Audio Producer for the Milwaukee Brewers. The music we play is actually a 9:45 mix from multiple selections in the three LOTR scores by Howard Shore. I’ve put pieces of the following selections into a seemless mix:

Foundations of Stone (Two Towers)
Minas Tirith (Return…”beacons of Gondor” scene)
Bridge of Khazad-dum (Fellowship)
The Uruk-hai (Two Towers)
Treason of Isengard (Fellowship)
Amon Hen (Fellowship)

It was nice to see that report on your site!!
