“You see, this is my life. It always will be. There’s nothing else, just us and the cameras and those wonderful people out there in the dark.”
– from Sunset Boulevard
I have always loved the movies. As a baby I was swaddled, bottled, diapered and taken by my parents to double features, sometime twice in the same day. This playlist is an amalgam of music from films that over the years have become touchstones, bookmarks to events, places and people.
