As a child during the late 1960s and 1970s, the magical world of music caught my attention immediately, but outlets to find musical sources were extremely limited.

I’d lie in my bed every night and project some of my favorite cartoon character’s images upon my bedroom wall and ceiling. I’d stay up well past my bedtime (unbeknownst to my parents) and produce my own private slide shows and concerts starring The Archies, Josie and the Pussycats, H.R. Pufnstuf and The Scooby-Doo Show.

Weekend nights were usually spent watching The Partridge Family, The Monkees, and The Brady Bunch. I’d also excitedly arise early every Saturday morning and record all the songs from each week’s episode of my favorite cartoon/musical shows including H.R.
