“My goal is that no child will leave my classroom thinking they can't sing. If I have a coworker say, ‘I can't sing,' I'm like, ‘no, no. First, give me 15 minutes and a piano and I will show you that you can. Second, you can't say that because if you say that, then the kids think it's okay to say that.' I'm really fighting all day to prove to them that yes, they can sing, and it's cool, so do it. That foundational skill is just confidence and belief in their instrument.”Bethany Main is a graduate of the University of Missouri-Kansas City's Conservatory of Music and Dance, where she received her Master's and Bachelor's of Music Education. She teaches general music in Kansas City. She also directs the 6th-9th grade choir, Intermezzo, with the Youth Chorus of Kansas City.In addition to teaching, Bethany is a composer and author. She has written her first children's book titled “Our First Day of Music,” featuring an original song.

Adrian Gordon is an internationally performed composer and seasoned music educator. He is the author of the book Note to Self; A Music Director's Guide for Transitioning to a New School and Building a Thriving Music Program. Adrian wrote Note to Self because though his undergraduate and graduate programs were musically and pedagogically extensive, he never felt as though they touched on those hard-to-navigate areas of transitioning between jobs. Note to Self was written as a bridge for music educators who find themselves in similar situations.   Adrian currently serves as the Director of Orchestras at Providence Day School in Charlotte, NC. He believes in the power of music education in a child's life and understands the necessity of having passionate, confident, and supported music teachers at the helm, promoting great musical experiences for students.   In addition to teaching, Mr. Gordon is an in-demand conductor and clinician. He is also a composer with Alfred Music as well as the founder of Leap Year Music Publishing, which publishes string music for elementary, middle, and high school ensembles. His compositions appear on the Florida, Texas, Maryland, and Georgia Orchestra Association Music Performance Assessment Lists. His compositions are distributed through JW Pepper and have been performed throughout the world. He takes pride in creating music that is fun and pedagogically sound at all levels.   Adrian received his B.A. in music from the University of Miami, and his master's degree in music education at Florida International University.

Music is so much more than notes and rhythms. Music is something that activates parts of our brains in truly unique ways. My first course I took in my master's program was a music psychology course.

Have we saved the most interesting commentary for last? The Man With The Golden Gun marks the end of our watchalongs of the official EON series of James Bond films - but don't worry - we'll be back with the non-canonical adventures next! Along the way, we have the final lion raw from Brian Laws, ponder why Scaramanga had an anatomically correct waxwork, ask which end Bond chose for his bullet extraction, spot some flawed floors, and wade into the debate about JW Pepper and Calvin's choices for hypothetical nights out.   The recording took place on October 9th, 2020 in the USA, UK, and Spain.  James Page is co-founder of MI6-HQ.com and the magazine MI6 Confidential Calvin Dyson Reviews Bond channel can be enjoyed at youtube.com/calvindyson Lisa Funnell (@DrLisaFunnell) is Associate Professor at the University of Oklahoma Bill Koenig runs the Spy Command at hmssweblog.wordpress.com David Leigh runs thejamesbonddossier.com Ben Williams writes for MI6-HQ.com and MI6 Confidential  This podcast is copyright Pretitles LLC © 2021

On this episode of Marketing Tip Tea Time at 2:22 we interview Soon Hee Newbold. She has done it all. She is a well know violinist, performing at venues such as Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and Tanglewood. She also a well known composer with over 60 pieces for orchestra, many of which are JW Pepper editor's choice and basic library selections. Soon Hee has also been a music editor, a long-time composer for FJH Music Company, and an actress. We will dive into the world of composition and sheet music publishing with Soon Hee Newbold.

After some delays — hey this isn’t our full time job so deal with it — the gang is back to talk about Golden Gun. JW Pepper is back to stink up the screen, one of the worst bond songs and the moment Roger Moore regretted the rest of his life!

On this episode, Craig has the opportunity to have a conversation with Christopher Titko, the Church Music editor for JW Pepper (www.jwpepper.com) and church musician about a wide variety of topics, like self care, as well as how our congregations are walking through this new "normal" we're currently facing.

I told a few people prior to publishing this episode that the next guest would be Dan Moore. The response was unanimous, but the inflection varied: "oh man, I gotta hear that guy."Dan Moore took a break from his recent retirement to come talk to me about his small-town beginnings, teaching techniques, advice on jazz band, and his thoughts on marching band. Dan's recent endeavors include a larger focus on publishing his method book, original compositions, and arrangements, clinician services, and writing music and drill for marching band (and no, he doesn't just write "Dan Moore" type shows!).You can find Dan's work by searching "Daniel Moore Music" on facebook, JW Pepper, and Sheet Music Plus.I hope you enjoy this episode!

Listen Highlight to Tweet: “The trick to any of this...is to just start doing it, and the pieces will fall into place.” - Ryan Main Show Notes: Traditional publishers: Useful for… • A low-profile composer • A prolific composer • A composer/director looking to raise their profile • A composer looking for more commissionsBut… • For every 1,000 sales you could expect to make about $200 • If a publishing company likes your piece they will promote it more, if it barely makes the cut, it may not even be on a reading session Publishing with an innovative publishing company: Useful for… • A composer with at least some profile • A composer who knows they have gold on their hands • A composer who wants to make money but doesn’t want to self-publish (For every 1,000 sales, you could expect to make about $1,400)But… • If a publishing company likes your piece they will promote it more, if it barely makes the cut, they may not promote it • Many don’t offer printed music, specifically with JW Pepper, which is a huge market share Self-publishing: Useful for… • A composer with at least some profile • A composer who knows they have gold on their hands • A composer who wants to make money (For every 1,000 sales, you could expect to make about $2,000)But… • Time investment up front • Financial investment up front • Steep learning curve • It is entirely up to you to promote your music Things you will need to get your music published through traditional or innovative companies • Good writing • Good engraving • Good recording • Thick skin Things you will need to self-publish: • Good writing • Good engraving • Good recording • Thick skin • An entrepreneurial spirit Things you will need to self-publish printed music: • All of the previous plus… A commercial printer or a printing company A place to keep stock Nuts and bolts printing knowledge (paper weight, booklet printing, etc.) Ability to fulfill orders quickly and be a good business partner Relationships with retailers Bio: Ryan joined choir his sophomore year of college and spent most of that year trying to figure out how solfège worked. He’s almost got it now. Ryan loves to write music that is gripping and intense, which probably comes from watching too many superhero movies growing up. In his free time, he likes to spend time with his super cute nieces, walk his dogs, write music, and cook. As a chef, he has been described as “really pretty okay” by a guy that looked kinda like Gordon Ramsay. He has accidentally set two oven mitts on fire and hopes to keep it there. Ryan is the Artistic Director of the Youth Chorus of Kansas City, the Director of Music at Village Presbyterian Church in Antioch, and is an (extremely) active composer and clinician.

Do you like beer?  Do you like Bond?  Well, then this is your favorite episode of the Garage Hour and you haven't even listened yet.  Skully/lowbrow/Day-Dead artist Dave Lozeau and Garage Hour host and gearhead savant Justin Fort team up in the Lozeau studios to take an X-Acto knife to James Bond movies across the ages, all of it powered by local beers. What's on tap?  Bond's Lotus and Bond's Citroen, the brutality of Sean Connery versus the femininity of Daniel Craig, why Roger Moore was the best Bond, why Pierce Brosnahan missed the mark, Bond misogyny versus bad women, and the movie-stealing genius that was Sheriff JW Pepper.  Oh yeah, plus Jaws, Jaws, Jaws, Octopussy, Blofeld, Stromberg, A View to a Kill, Walken, Kronstein, From Russia With Love, Diamonds are Forever, Mr. Winn and Mr. Kidd, the voodoo guy, For Your Eyes Only, Skyfall, Yaphet Kotto, Man with the Golden Gun, Christopher Lee (ala Scaramanga), The Spy who Loved Me, and Live and Let Die.  There's also beer:  Helix's RNA red, Wavelength's hibiscus red, Cali Creamin' and the Creamin' black & tan, and Garage Brewing's Orange Vanilla Creme Ale. Shaken into the mix are trick toes, gearhead art, Miami Vice (how about a Miami Vice episode?), X-Acto knives (duhh), apricots (don't put them in tanks), aliens, Ripley (dog or alien), Deadbolt (because rockabilly), black licorice, tactical training with Matt Klier at ASDS (because home-defense awesomeness), and more bad transitions than you can shake a paper silhouette at.

Welcome to SPECTRE etc. This is the James Bond podcast where we discuss the ins and the outs of each film. In this episode, we catch MacGuffin Mania in a quest to get back our ATAC! Join us for this Winter Games extravaganza, as we watch James Bond do stunt after stunt that are clearly beyond Roger Moore in “For Your Eyes Only”. * We open with Please-Don’t-Call-Me-Blofeld hijacking a helicopter that is carrying Bond! This bald villain offers James a brand new delicatessen, but Bond is looking forward to a SPECTRE-free future. * Bond takes the morning train into Sheena Easton’s sleepy song, before being briefed on this film’s macguffin - the ATAC. Meanwhile, Melina meets her parents at sea - who are immediately slaughtered right in front of her. * A quintessential 1980s pool party - complete with totem tennis and awful music - brings Bond to Spain. He is captured, but Melina gatecrashes the party with her crossbow, allowing Bond to escape. The plan is to leave in the Lotus, but an explosive anti-theft device forces a change in plans. * Bond and Melina flee in the Definitely-A-Bond-Car Citroen. Once Bond has had his way with criticising her driving, his hands are free to take control of this canary-yellow car. They escape, and Bond hypocritically warns Melina against seeking revenge. * Bond and Q use the Identigraph to lock sights on Locke. This information sends Bond to Italy, where he meets Ferrara and Kristatos and Bibi. Kristatos tells Bond not to trust Columbo - but because Kristatos thinks Bond should chaperone Bibi, we know not to trust Kristatos. * Melina visits a local crossbow store - which, from how the coach driver “protected” her, seems like a smart purchase for a lady travelling alone in this part of the world. Bond gets a taste of the other side of sexual harassment when Bibi tries to seduce him. Thankfully (for all), Uncle James offers to buy her an ice-cream instead. * Eric the biathlete gives Bibi the stinkeye before a ski chase through a chalet and down a bobsled track. Then, an unnecessary scene at the ice hockey rink ensures all the Winter Games are covered. * The plot grinds to a halt as Bond and Melina walk us through some of Greece’s cultural heritage. The action kicks back in when Bond goes home with Contessa Brosnan - who he beds, of course. This turns out as well for this Contessa as bedding Bond did for Contessa Teresa in OHMSS. * Columbo brings Bond onside by poking fun at his physique, and these new partners head off to detonate the warehouse where Kristatos keeps his big spherical balls.. Bond tries a taste of raw opium and subsequently is able to zoom up a big flight of stairs at superhuman speed and kick Locke’s car off a cliff. * Bond and Melina meet underwater, then head for the shipwreck to retrieve the ATAC. In a clamp-heavy scene, Bond has to fight for freedom from a few foes. Kristatos captures and then keel-hauls the couple across the coral, but Bond is able to cut the cable. * Bond just happens to be an unbelievably impressive rock-climber for such an old man, so he is able to sneak up to the mountaintop monastery where Kristatos is waiting to meet Russian M. Bond ignores the big villain and instead has his big showdown with one of the henchman. Thankfully, Columbo is able to kill Kristatos, saving Melina from the satisfying resolution of avenging her parents’ murder. * Bond throws the ATAC off the cliff, then chooses skinny-dipping over taking a call from the Prime Minister. And of course, keep checking back for a link to our petition to have Max the Parrot replace JW Pepper as Bond’s best-known sidekick!

The Man with the Golden Gun - “The Nipple Dispenser” Summary: Welcome to SPECTRE etc. This is the James Bond podcast where we discuss the ins and the outs of each film. In this episode, we ponder the confluence of factors that has brought together the unholy trinity of Roger Moore, Guy Hamilton, and JW Pepper. Thankfully this mess is saved by Christopher Lee’s superb Scaramanga. Join us as we jump on his junk to journey through a melange of Asian cultures in The Man with the Golden Gun. * The pre-titles sequence provides an opportunity to push through a long list of poorly-thought-through puns. The comedy turns to horror when the titles sequence credits mention the Hamilton/Pepper combination. * Bond teaches the viewer much more than they could possibly need to know about Scaramanga, before once again abusing the far-too-generous leave allowances at MI6. * Now that Bond is off the clock, his first stop is a Middle-Eastern strip club. His much-less-glamorous second stop involves some Middle-Eastern laxatives. * Once that is out of his system, Bond makes his way to Macau to play some Travel Trouble at the casino. * In Hong Kong, Bond demonstrates how easy it is to break into any old hotel room you want. Then we learn the classy way to assault a lady is to offer her some post-traumatic champagne. * Bond narrowly avoids death at the Bottoms Up Club, before being whisked away to M’s crooked office aboard a shipwreck. * Bond leaves Hip to meet Hi Fat and Chew Mee - as Guy Hamilton does his best to cram in every cultural convention from the entire continent of Asian nations, including a completely unnecessary scene at a karate school. * Speaking of completely unnecessary parts of this film, once again a boat chase leads to us meeting up with Sheriff JW Pepper… Ugh. * Bond turns Goodnight into a pile of pillows, before forcing her to listen as he and Andrea come together. * Bond and Scaramanga finally meet at Thai kickboxing, which leads to one of the coolest Bond stunts (backed by the least-cool sound: a slide-whistle) before Scaramanga’s car flies away with Goodnight in the trunk. * Bond flies to Scaramanga’s island lair with three goals: rescue Goodnight, recover the Solex, and defeat Scaramanga. We applaud the film’s location scouts, we hypothesise that Scaramanga is a “dark side” version of Bond, and we consider the irony of Bond’s demise being potentially triggered by a bikini-clad bottom. * We finish on some junk - Bond packs one last assassin into a suitcase, before M mystifyingly calls Scaramanga’s direct line. Official SPECTRE etc Theory (OffSeT) #9: Guy Hamilton is not a skilled director. Matt has been pushing this barrow for almost the whole run of podcasts, and it would seem he has finally beaten the rest of SPECTRE Etc into submission. Formerly, Matt has railed against Hamilton speeding up footage unnecessarily, adding scenes that contribute nothing to the plot, and showing a lack of depth perception on the greenscreen. This film’s jarring mashup of menacing thriller and schoolboy farce is the last straw! And of course, keep checking back for a link to our petition to force the Bottoms Up barmaid responsibilities to be limited to nothing more than cracking cans of beer! Worst Impersonation Trophy: After winning a couple of WITs since Connery left, Col bounces back by rattling off a series of excellent impersonations. Col masterfully mimics Goodnight, that little boy, and even Mrs Pepper… But then Col’s impersonation of Roger Moore negotiating has Col crashing back to Earth. Unfortunately Roger is going to be with us for a while - Col will have to stick to the co-stars!

Live and Let Die - “Double-0ntendres” Summary: Welcome to SPECTRE etc. This is the James Bond podcast where we discuss the ins and the outs of each film. In this episode, we warmly welcome a British icon to the Bond franchise. But enough about Paul McCartney, let’s meet Roger Moore - our third James Bond in three films. Join us for our voyage into voodoo as we jump the crocodile and explore why Moore is less. * The pre-titles sequence is a pre-Roger sequence, so it is good fun for all concerned. Paul McCartney’s classic song completes what is a very exciting introduction to this film. * The producers seem to have learnt from the way they shoved Lazenby’s casting down our throat, and Moore’s introduction is nicely underplayed. Unfortunately the coffee-making scene is terribly overplayed. * Bond takes us on a woefully inaccurate tour of New York City (Don’t get on the FDR!) and then the Pimpmobile to Harlem. Before Bond buys a 70 cent cheeseburger, he is captured - allowing him to wander around a Rec Room and meet Solitaire and Tee-Hee (the one-and-a-half-armed man). * After a brief meeting with Mr Big, Bond escapes and follows Kananga to the Caribbean. At the resort, Bond meets Mrs. Bond - a fairly useless agent whose only real achievement is that she held that particular title longer than anyone else has managed (sorry, Contessa Teresa). * Quarrel Jr makes a confusing appearance and helps Bond break into Kananga’s house - allowing James to very creepily manipulate Solitaire into giving up her virginity, and therefore her magical powers. Bond, however, hangs on to his magical powers, and turns a double-decker bus into a single-decker bus. * Back on the mainland, Bond foolishly returns to the Fillet of Soul - where he is again captured. We learn that Mr Big and Kananga are the same person, and this person sends Bond to “The Farm” for a very cool stunt - the crocodile jump! * As if a ten-minute boat chase isn’t doing enough to weaken the film, the completely-out-of-context JW Pepper is introduced to completely ruin the viewing experience. * We return to Kananga’s island - where the voodoo show stretches credibility before all that business with the gas pellet does away with the idea of believability altogether. * The film ends on a train, where Bond disarms Tee-Hee, but doesn’t notice Baron Samedhi on the cow-catcher! Official SPECTRE etc Theory (OffSeT) #8: Time stops for no man, but it seems to stop for Bond. Yet again, Bond is on a time-sensitive mission to save the world - and yet again, he has time to pause mid-mission to woo the ladies! Scuba sex with Domino, hillside hugs with Kissy, and now a passionate picnic with Rosie… Get back to work James! And of course, keep checking back for a link to our petition to crown Sheriff JW Pepper as the most annoying character in the entire Bondiverse! Worst Impersonation Trophy: Col manages to throw in his JW Pepper (a good ol’ boy from The South) when trying to impersonate a Harlem cab driver - two characters from VERY different worlds. Now that Connery has left, Col needs to expand his impersonation game!

Strap yourself in and get ready for the Moore train as we talk about the first of Roger Moore's 10,923 James Bond movies with the 1973 film Live And Let Die. Why is there so many Honky's listening to this episode? Why doesn't M get the purpose of a coffee machine? Should people care more about random British diplomat dying in the UN? Is Solitaire really magical and at all interesting? Why does Whisper suck so much? Why does Rosie Carver suck even more? Who is Adam? And far out, JW Pepper has to be spoken about too. Yikes! Better listen to the episode then to get it started...

Bond's ninth outing is Moore's second. Join me as I analyze the story, the girls, the cars, the gadgets—by which I mean the fake nipple—and the seemingly endless, awful JW Pepper scenes. However, I actually find myself defending the film against the haters and end up enjoying it fairly well on its own merits, at least a fair amount more than I did Live and Let Die. I point out the not-so-subtle foreshadowing, analyze Scaramanga as a villain and Andrea as an ally. I try to figure out what country we're in, what the purpose of the custom golden gun is, and what Nick Nack's motivation is. I enjoy Maud Adams and Brit Eckland, and I positively adore the half-sunken ship secret spy office.
