As you get older the days seem to pass by more quickly, and things you should remember get temporarily forgotten and passed over in the rush of new things to occupy your mind.
So it is that most years I temporarily forget Ron's birthday in my rush to keep up with other thoughts.
For a change, this year I haven't forgotten the personal importance of September 2, and so I am sending Ron my very best wishes on his Birthday.
In about one month, Ron will have been on the FSM Discussion Board for 15 years! I've been about 12 or so now, but he must be one of the longest here of anyone. In those years he's seen a lot of things go on around here---amazing releases we never thought would happen, fights and squabbles, insane hackers and trollers, and the deaths of many of our favorites, not only composers but fellow FSM-ers, too. Even filmmusic history can be exciting, momentous, or touching in its various ways.
In Ron's years here I have enjoyed his writing style, his thoughtful comments, and his terrific knowledge about filmmusic and I never miss a Ron Pulliam post. Although I realize he doesn't post as much as he used to, his continuing presence here and the classiness of his presentations is a real asset to this Forum, and I, for one, am grateful that I can look forward to seeing something he has written at least once-in-awhile.
So, RON PULLIAM old friend, this message gives Manderley a chance to wish you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY today.....and a host of merry un-Birthdays starting tomorrow!!!

Happy to chime in here with happy birthday wishes. I was lurking on this board for many years before contributing, and both Ron and Manderley came to be associated with that Ernst Lubitsch joie de vivre that is so rare and fine these days. I've always enjoyed and more important learned from the posts of Ron (and the big M), and am grateful for getting to know a bit of you both on here.
Happy day!

Warmest felicitations to our esteemed Mr. Pulliam. Enjoy your day!

Happy birthday Ron!
But since this is this side of the board and not the other bit, we ought to mention film music. So I've invented a game. We all suggest a film score which we think Ron might like. Ron comes back and says he likes it or he doesn't like it. The winner is the one who doesn't die, and you die by mentioning a title that Ron doesn't like.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm... ALL FALL DOWN (Alex North)

A belated greeting to Ron.
Suggested score he'd like - Hurry Sundown (Hugo Montenegro)
That's two of us still alive until Ron comes back with the bad news. You could cut the atmosphere with a knife here.

He is!

He has!

It is!

How did I miss this thread when it started?! MANY HAPPY RETURNS, big guy! And remember Uncle PJ's advice for birthdays: don't confine it to just a day, but stretch it out into a season, and keep celebrating. (And if you do, then my well-wish will not be belated after all -- but that's not why I'm recommending this valid philosophy...)
Cheers,
P.
