John Williams is celebrating his 93rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed composers of his generation.
Popular composer-conductor-pianist John Williams (Indiana Jones, Star Wars, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 93rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Williams, a cultural icon
