About Sergio
-
I am one who has been blessed to be a musician and then retired. From a child who remembers seeing one of my very first motion pictures; "The Adventures of Robin Hood" - since then I had only wished I could have been a successful actor on the Warner Bros. lot during the 30's through 50's hanging out with the great Errol Flynn, as this would have been more probable then that of actually being Errol Flynn; and so if I couldn't be him, than that would have the next best thing, being around him... My favorite lines of all time, is one in which I have used in the past to my beautiful wife - one I borrow from one of Errol's best film performances, "They Died With Their Boots On" (Custer to Libby on his last farewell to her before leaving to the what became the Battle of the Little Bighorn Indian massacre ) - "Walking through life with you, ma'am, has been a very gracious thing". This line pretty much sums up as what we so often forget to stop and take a moment - simply take a breath, turn to your love one to say how great it is to be alive and share all the blessings, respect, sorrows - the true love two cherishes(d) together, and finally you see what it means to become One! On the wolfish, playful side of me, comes the other great line I felt many times when I was single, (sigh~); "Adventures of Don Juan" - Don Juan (EF) to Leporello (Alan Hale); "There's a little Don Juan in everyone, and since I am Don Juan, then there must be more of it in me'... Summing all this up from start to finish; there's a little of Errol Flynn in all of us men, but since he was Errol Flynn, we can only wish…..Happy dreams!

I have what I call, my “Magic Box”, with it you can get any film, program, music, whatever one can ever imagine with a click of finger, including movies that are in the theaters now.

Conversation with author Peter Valenti
Peter (Valenti) and I last night had our first conversation to what I hope will be many to come in the near future. I found him to be very open and an inviting gentleman. It felt as if I’ve known Peter (as he wanted me to call him to that of Mr. Valenti – which I generally address someone I… (more…)

It Dropped into Dodge 77 years ago
A couple days ago I watched Dodge City (1939)— (Lord only knows how many times I have) and a little tid-bit stored in my small tiny pea brain came to the for front, about how Hollywood had broken away from the tradition of premiering films in places such their California theaters – this time they premiered in Dodge City, Kansas, of which, cough-cough! you ready… (more…)
