I'm sad. I liked so much of his work. His compositions were the music of so much of my youth.

I loved his music. Rest in peace Mr. Schifrin

RIP! I have a few of his LP's with many of his best TV/movies themes.

Saw him perform his music live in Zagreb, Croatia 25 years ago!

this is an awful story, but what the heck, i'll share it anyway . .. .

so i had this first date. now this was about 18 years ago at the height of the time in my bachelorhood which i will refer to as the "tri-state reign of terror."

i'd have a meeting with a lady for coffee in the morning, another for lunch, and then if it was a good saturday, i'd have a dinner engagement with a third.

so after dinner we went back to my pad. a little chit chat and then time for, well, an interlude, would be delicately put.

of course being the suave and debonair man about town i fancied myself, i popped in a new cd of, yes, Lalo Schifrin themes. (regretfully i don't remember the orchestra, but it may have been various)

so one thing leads to another, i'm doing what makes me, me, and then the song changes.

i cannot remember the name, or at exactly what point things changed, but the next thing i know the music was blaring whatever song that the gladiators marched to when entering the colosseum.

it didn't put a halt to the festivities, but i sort of broke the mood, if you catch my drift.
