It must have been in March or April, driving up to the train depot in South Portland, Maine to pick up rock phosphate or limestone or something that my brother had this on his truck stereo and all of a sudden we were aware he was driving faster and faster as the music picked up. Luckily we didn't meet up with any troopers before he realized what was going on. Must have been right after the album came out. I think he put it on cassette. I know he had it on vinyl. Too early for CDs.

I just realized this week that Rota also wrote the score for Visconti's "The Leopard." Very lush, operatic, very different from his Fellini scores.
