  1. I saw that I missed a call while I was working out. I didn’t recognize the number. After realizing what it was, I was expected the imfamous “Clarice”

  4. I got a voice mail, too. Love his voice. Reminded me of other great voices: Richard Burton, James Mason, James Earl Jones…

  5. I didn’t get the call. Not sure if I’m relieved or jilted. I didn’t even know he was a musician regardless.

    Kudos.

  7. Got the message and went to the DSO web site. Saw that they are premiering his original works and music from his movies including video clips. Should be great! I’m going.
