Re: Who are you? (Formal introductions)

Guess I've put this off long enough.
Honestly, I can't recall how I first heard of this site. Maybe it was bandied about on the Silent Film Lounge on Facebook. Or on the TCM message boards that I mostly (briefly) lurked on years ago. Either way, I finally signed up & am here now.
I grew up watching things like The Three Stooges & I Love Lucy as a kid. Yearly viewings of The Wizard of Oz as well as The Ten Commandments helped me love the classics.
Wish my first experience with a silent film was as crystal clear to me as some of you. The nearest I can remember was a late night viewing of Chaplin's A Burlesque On Carmen in my teens on PBS. It was a blur. I keep telling myself to watch that one again & it's been nearly 20 years. The reason? When I was in college I remember waking up at 3 am and turning on my old tube tv & the first thing I saw, as the screen warmed up, were the opening titles for Buster Keaton in The Cameraman. I'd never seen anything like it. Needless-to-say, it opened a door to a new world that I was more than happy to find, just as I am happy to have found this site.
