When I was around four or five, one of my mom&#8217;s cousins, Louie, took us for a drive somewhere.  In the back seat I found a couple of flip books about the size of a pack of matches.  I recall that one was a &#8220;movie&#8221; of old time Western star, Hopalong Cassidy.  It showed him on his horse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I asked what it was and mom&#8217;s cousin said that if you flipped through the stiff paper pages, it would look like Hopalong was riding his horse.  He showed me how to do it and I tried it myself and it worked!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since that moment I was hooked on movies.  I made flip books of my own with little cartoon animations and later, when my parents gave me one of the first generation Super-8 movie cameras for my sixth grade graduation, I started making movies all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long story short, I ended up having a career in the movie biz as a writer, director, and editor.  Nothing you&#8217;ve ever heard of but I did direct a couple of feature length movies, and one year I edited the official film for the Tournament of Roses, among scores of other credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of scores, with my love of music and my love of movies, it&#8217;s not surprising that my Composer&#8217;s Sketchbook has a number of tracks that are intended for movie soundtracks.  I never got the chance to actually write a sound track, but this entry here is a short twelve second guitar riff designed as a movie transition from one scene to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For what its worth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve always had a bent toward the movies.
