August 15th, 2013 My question is for Nick - wondering since he’s a film buff if he's familiar (and a fan) of the brilliant Bernard Hermann, who composed all of Alfred Hitchcock’s films. If not, wondering if there's any other film composer he's particularly fond of. Thanks! Regards, Shawn Martin Hello Shawn, Indeed, I am familiar with the Hitchcock soundtracks, VERTIGO has been a particular favorite of mine for many years. PSYCHO isn't too bad either, is it? Of the younger generation of film composers, I particularly like Danny Elfman, who has done a glorious job with most of Tim Burton's movies. I also like Angelo Badalamenti, who works with David Lynch, and of course, John Barry's BOND soundtracks. My favourite film composer of all though, is Nino Rota, who worked on many great film, particularly with Fellini and notably with Francis Ford Coppola.

That's a fairly okay question for a meet&greet, or if one finds oneself sitting next to him on a bus or something, nice little chitchat, but it's kinda strange for an Ask Katy.

Nick's fans ARE strange.

The more vocal ones, yes. I'm sure there are some normals in his corner. At least I hope so.

I don't think I've ever seen a "normal" Nick fan.

*sigh* I spent the past 24 hours trying to think of one, and I couldn't.

Yeah, if there are any, they do a good job of hiding.
