The Show's Music: A work of many
musicians. |
 Visit with the
people responsible for the theme music, from the opening to the closing,
including the many short pieces inbetween. These people are capturing the
spirit of small business. Their music enters the creative moment, there are
bursts of insight, feelings of pain, joy, expectation. The race. Tenacity.
There is a breath of air. And even light, whimsical moments. Listen closely and
you may even hear a long dry period but with an ever-optimistic anticipation of
the breakthrough.
Musicians
understand all these emotions profoundly. |
| We are in Studio A. There are many
musicians. You've heard them many times before; now you get to see them and
their instruments. That all these hands, lips, ears and minds, can all work on
the same thought at the same time, is the miracle and perfection of music. Yet,
these are independent musicians who hear unique music in their dreams and even
their most casual thinking, but at this point in time they focus their talents
on one purpose -- the creation of our theme music. |

| Meet Daniel Walker,
Composer/Conductor. Coming from Denver to Hollywood in 1990, Daniel has
written, scored, orchestrated, directed, and conducted music around the world
(from Beijing to Tibet to Munich) and for recording artists, many movies,
dozens of television shows (from the Tonight Show, 20/20, Sex &
the City), and Small Business 2000 (1995) and now
SmallBusinessSchool. |
| Meet Brian Reeves,
Mixer. Perfect pitch. He hears any slight variation from the norm and
will quickly pick a sharp bassoon from an entire orchestration. He is formally
known as the mixer, Daniel's "right-ear" man, a musician's musician. His casual
looks (above with Daniel) nicely guise his profound gifts for sculpting and
balancing with sound. |
| Meet
John Rosenberg, Orchestration / Contractor. A
music contractor, a man whose reputation is golden among the inner circle of
musicians in the Hollywood bowl of extraordinary talents. These
instrumentalists are among the finest in the world. Their resumes include many
of the best schools and orchestras. Everyone is a small business -- independent
contractors -- and it is John who confidently brings them all together. He
understands the miracle of the mix. |

| The musicians know each other well. They've worked
with each other on hundreds of gigs like this one. Quickly exchanging
greetings; they go right to where their group sits; settle in; and they get
down to work. Here you will meet them, section by section, one musician at a
time. The primary asset of their business is that special talent they have
cultivated and harbor in their souls. Unlike so many of us, these people truly
know what their gifts are and what they have been called to do. |
