Welcome from Elmo:

Hello, all ye Horner-fans, and welcome to the World Wide Web James Horner Shrine! My name is Elmo, Horner's biggest fan in the known universe, and I am your host here at the Shrine. This effort is a labour of love; it is an unnoffical site, and it is only out of my supreme admiration of Horner's music that I have erected this site, which I jokingly call a shrine. If you have any questions or comments, then direct them to me via e-mail.
