Sometime in July of 2016, I spent some quality time with my friend Lanier chatting about how he became a James Bond fan. We used to work together at a floor covering showroom in San Francisco. He was such an inspiration to follow because he genuinely cared about the customers and vendors. He provided diamond quality customer service like no one I’ve ever known. While at work, he introduced me to James Bond films and different movie soundtrack music, which I was not exposed to prior to working there. His love of classic films and movie soundtracks rubbed off on me during that period of my life. Because of him, I’m a collector of instrumental movie soundtracks. I was influenced to become a HUGE lover of all 007 music and specifically all the Daniel Craig flicks. When this video was made, we we worked with one particular colleague was so annoyed by our constant replay of bond music.

I had the privilege of attending the SF Symphony with him for an Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest live performance. Had it not been for Lanier (aka Michael), I would have never known the movie music world. It’s a part of my life forever thanks to him.
