John Williams music revisited

John Williams seemed to be the name at the end of the movies where my one brother and I would be singing some parts afterwards, serious and joking, so he bought the soundtrack album for "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", and we loved it. And no, no mashed potato food fun.

This is something that might not be appropriate, anywhere, any time, for any man to admit.
But John William's music has a big part in it.
I live in the Niagara Peninsula, in between two of the Great Lakes, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
I've hiked along the shores, swam and snorkled, and love to bike-hike out there all day.
And I've read every historic plaque, parks sign and see all the warnings along the way.
I even drink Lake Erie water, so I definitely know it's not salty.
But after seeing "Jaws" I was afraid to go swimming.
I'd start hearing the music, start going "boo-duh boo-duh boo-duh" to myself,
and I'd be afraid. I'd tell myself that half of a thirty pound dead carp just died of old age.
That long piece of wood, shredded at one end? Just a piece of an old boat a whale used for a toothpick.
Yeah, I even would rather believe in a whale in the lake than sharks.
John William's music should come with a fear factor warning.
Oh no! It's really blowing outside. The snow sharks are coming!
