My love of music and sound started in an odd way. At the age of 7, I was taken to an all day movie and movie serial thingy in a theater on Miami Beach, circa 1953, They apparently played full feature versions of Flash Gordon and Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars.
The music and sound effects really zingered me. I remember when I came home that I told my mother that I had just seen something great. In actuallity, some of those serials and B movies have extroadinary hi-fi mono sound if one hears the sound from a good print.
