Mark Knopfler had the Shakespeare tale in mind when writing this but I discovered today he also was writing about a relationship he once had with a young lady in the years before Dire Straits hit the big time.

A lovestruck Romeo
He sang the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Find a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
He says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"

My friends and I have made movies most our lives. "TALES OF TERROR" was a horror trilogy starring many friends, which we made in the 1980s. #makingmovies #homemovies #super8 #super8mm #reg8 #reg8mm #moviefilm #olddays #vintage #filmmaking #vintagefilmmaking #horror #devildogs #creativity #creating #filming #acting #actors #terror #trilogy #shortstories #shortstory
I’ve loved this song from the first time I ever heard it nearly 46 years ago when “Making Movies” was released; saw the video for the first time in the fall of 1980 on “Nightflight.” I learned today the “roller girl” in the video, Jayzik Azikiwe, died on 31 January, 2008. I also learned in doing some reading on her career she was the daughter of Nigeria’s first president. Rest easy, Jay. This one on deck today is for you.

My friends and I have made movies most our lives. "THE CHRISTMAS PIG" was based on a charming, rhyming children's play I found at school, not the J.K. Rowling story. 1983. #movies #makingmovies #super8mm #reg8mm #8mm #super8 #camera #cameras #kodak #creativity #movieposter #movieposters #thechristmaspig #jkrowlingsucks #jkrowlingisabigot #canceljkrowling #creativeproject #projects #creativeprojects #drawing #pencildrawing #pencils #pencil #art #artwork #arting #artist #1980s

When we first made movies, we held several awards banquets, named for the small town we often filmed in. The Bicentennial, 1976. #makingmovies #super8mm #reg8mm #regular8mm #8mm #homemovies #movies #deepholeproductions #banquet #academia #academiapennsylvania #smalltown #fun
