This is a kind of a divider in my just-released 5-track EP, Early Years. It represents the early years of my music creation, whereas the other 4 tracks are from the early part of the 20th and later part of the 19th century.
It's a short 24-bar loop that I cooked up in Garageband, hmm, perhaps 6 years ago?
The video is from a "safety" film done in the 1950s called A Walk in the Jungle, which was obviously meant to be shown to children in school to teach basic safety in "the jungle" of the big city.
Re-mixed for release on new album Early Times.

Just after No Country for Old Men was released in 2007, I had occasion to read the entire works of Cormac McCarthy. I was surprised at how the Coen Brothers, who wrote & directed the movie, got the book so right.
Besides that, the cinematography was superb and Javier Bardem unforgettably great in the villain role.
So, when I created this track I thought of the movie. I made the tribute to the film that you see here.
This version has the brand new re-mixed & mastered sound that I did for last month's album release, Groove Makin' Session I.
If you haven't seen the movie let this video be your introduction to the film, and to the written word underlying.
This video is both a comment on and a critique of the 2007 film No Country For Old Men, of which it is 100 percent, completely made up of.
I took some of the most iconic and striking images of the film and cut them to my music, creating an appraisal of the film, generally, while simultaneously giving the footage a new meaning, fundamentally altering the characters and the original plot.
This work is both original and a commentary on the original film (and the underlying novel by Cormac MacCarthy).
It celebrates and lauds the film, but also re-imagines the film by re-mixing the film sequences.
Finally, this video actually serves to promote interest in the original work.

The 2nd video I made.
Think I might have used Picasa. The cat video was made as part of an iPad app that has long ago ceased to exist. The app was for making vids and then posting them to their network. It was the precursor to Instagram, Snapchat, all the others, but for some reason did not catch on.
I included shots of myself (stepdad is in the bg of one of them), of my travels and whatever seemed right. The inclusion of the video (with a variety fo efx) of my brand new black kitten doing his tricks,harmed the sound, and I have no original for it, so this video is it for this track.
