run around in my underwear with a red blanket tied to my shoulders humming the main theme.
Things haven't changed much.
Except, I don't run around in my underwear anymore! :)
Then came Beetlejuice. This was the first soundtrack that I bought (I was given a tape of various movie themes from my parents but that was a gift.) I remember finding it on the shelve at Sam Goody (Cringe..never go there again) and though "Hmm.. I wonder what this is". Didn't realize that when I would listen to it, I would remember everything that was happening in the movie at any particular note.
I moved from NJ in 94 to study Industrial Design Technology (special effects, miniature effects, makeup effects, etc..) in movies. Hopeing to work for ILM one day.
Hmph....
Yeah, that happened.
I then moved to Duluth, GA to start a career selling CORN. But it was too hot out there, so I moved back home.
I now own and operate a limousine company called "Lakeland Limousine" right here from my house.
Gives me the $ I need to satisfy my soundrack craves. I oohhh nellie do I ever have soundtrack craves!!

Why I like Movie Music: I love MOVIES, period. Anything that reminds me of the movie experience, I adore. Screenplays, DVD's, Home Theaters, soundtracks...
That allow me to enjoy to movie, outside of the movie itself.
