Doug Adams had asked Fran Walsh to write a short foreword for his new book, “The Music of the LOTR Films”.
Anything that she thought was appropriate: musings on Tolkien and music, memories of working with Howard on the films… anything, really. I trusted her implicitly.
This morning, that foreword arrived with this message,
Hi Doug, Pete and I think your book reads really well and found it to be completely engaging! Congratulations!
A book release party is scheduled in conjunction with the October Radio City Music Hall, FOTR Live concert.
