I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the film maestro, one of my musical influences, Ennio Morricone accept a special Oscar for his extraordinary career in film scoring. Of course, it was well over due but didn't I talk about him in my last entry? I had NO idea that he would be honored in such a fashion on sunday; way cool! Anyway, I have received word from a few of my submissions: I am on standby status. I don't want to jinx it and say which ones but at least there is some hope. I am continuing to make new submissions including a few magazines. Wish me luck! BKT
