A Lovin' Spoonful love-in


A panel discussion on Music in Film at Utopia Studios Saturday turned into a mini John Sebastian love-fest, with the panel's moderator and a composer whose work includes one of the Harry Potter films gushing over the Woodstock veteran and long-time Woodstock resident, who participated in the discussion.

'John Sebastian is just an iconic soul in my book," said William Rossis, who composed music for "Matrix Reloaded," "Forrest Gump" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets."

On the topic of "Film and Television as the New Radio," lobbed up for debate by moderator Doreen Ringer-Ross, vice President of Film/TV Relations at BMI, Sebastian said "It moves around." "I've said no to alcohol, but yes to beer; no to big oil and yes to an electric power company that gives money to schools."

Here is a picture of Ringer-Ross and Sebastian.
