Or with two Canadian writers, four men in the music profession, the

the Chicago Children's Choir died in 1987.)

magazines like Omni and Asimov's Science Fiction. And he designed
wallpaper tied to the Star Wars film "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980).

allowed that there was a certain magic involved in bringing far-off
worlds to life...
