Major nostalgia moment

Found this old ABC movie bumper on YouTube. I can remember watching James Bond movies on the old Trinitron (at least I think is was a trinitron, could have been a Zenith). Mom would whip up a batch of "snake meat", or possibly we would have popped popcorn in a metal shaker over the fire. We would beg to stay up longer to catch the end of whatever shenanigans 007 had got himself into this time. To think that "From Russia with Love" was only 20 years old when I first watched it...... Now "Die Hard" is 20 years old. Wow.

It's just like Metallica...except on the cello!!!



Would it be too much information if I told you this is how I envisioned myself every time I picked up the cello?

I'm telling you. When the kids go to college and I have time to practice...I'm going on tour and getting SO much tail!
