Listening to his "FLIGHT" music from THE HORSEMEN COMETH and this thought just came to me. Why wasn't Horner's wife and children there in Vienna Celebrating his wonderful career, basically his life's work, with him? I certainly would want to have my family there sharing this great time with me. I know his assistant was there sitting at his side. I think his wife was there with him at the Oscars when he won for TITANIC. Interesting. And that is the biggest secret of them all.

It's a very American thing ('sorry!) to trot out your wife & kids in public if you're a celebrity. I get the impression certain sections of the US public think that's some sort of endorsement of family values or something. Especially is this so with politicians, and even clerics, to show you're a reg'lar family guy .... hence the satirical cartoon show... In Europe it's more ambiguous. That'd be called suspect. After all, your children deserve privacy, not to be exploited in a sort of low-key molestation.

This is a weird thread. But yes, Sandy Cameron is mesmerizing to watch.

I know next-to-nothing about James Horner's personal life (I once sat next to him at a restaurant, but he was with a colleague). Some here claim to have insights. Whatever. Why might his wife and daughters not go to Vienna? Well, it's Vienna. It's not the same as going to the local Oscars on a weekend. And certainly, nobody expected the Vienna tribute to be the final one. Or maybe they hated each other. Famous people marry and divorce, they have kids, they worry about their kids and yell at their kids, they get sick, they eat in restaurants, they have many scarves. (Okay, that last one is mostly just Horner.) Some are fairly private, as Horner was. We know him through his music. I guess what I'm saying is, to borrow a phrase from US magazine: Composers. They're just like us.

Personally I never knew he flew until he died in a plane crash.
