John Williams Strikes Again

Last summer we watched a fair amount of TV during the Olympics. Victor wandered in and out and enjoyed some of it (i.e. anything that he could describe as "fast"). But one part of the Olympics stuck with him: the Olympic Fanfare. He's been singing and humming it to himself consistently since last summer. He even has a high-stepping march of sorts that he does to the music.

I'd like to acknowledge John Williams for writing a piece of music so attractive to small boys. And although I would like to hypothesize that it all means that Victor will grow up to be an Olympian, it's far more likely, given his parentage, that it means he will grow up to play a brass instrument.
