    Mystery Unresolved

    OK I failed to resolve my brothers problem of why he can’t access site. I talked to WordPress Support – detailing the issue. They checked things and said that anybody should be able to find my site and make comments –
    they are not blocking ??
    Not sure what else I can do. I’ll keep my ear to the ground
    and see if I can figure this thing out.

    Onward

    I’m going away for a week.
    Sorry – won’t be able to work on the blog.

    However:
    Projects I’m working on: 

    Tyrone Power / Swashbuckler / Zorro
    Featuring that Prince of Fiends: Basil Rathbone!

    Posters: Jesse James Films
    Fun – but a lot of work finding and fixing
    those old posters.

    The Death of Jesse James 
    Depictions of his assassination in Film.
    But most Jesse James don’t depict this at all!

    I’ve really enjoyed working on this Jesse James thing. (Bet you couldn’t tell).
    Not really finished yet either. He’s an incredible study of
    Western Lore and Legend.
    It seems his Iconic stature outweighs the evil that his did. ??

    Well … you fool some of us humans,
    but … the Big Guy is not so easy.

    Stay tuned.

    Video Conversion – Geezer Style

    I just spent many hours trying to get a video clip from The Long Riders. I was using VLC Video Player (a great little device) and I could easily get a good video clip – but with no sound. The original movie video was in a format called ts = ‘Transport stream’ and I could not figure out how to get the Audio. I fumbled and bumbled for many hours – first trying to convert the original clip to MP4 – or ANY format that might work. I looked at several YouTube videos (another useful asset), but nothing worked. (I bet any kid could have shown me how to do this in one minute). I’d been trying to figure this out this Video Clip thing for weeks because a video clip can really enhance a Post. It has to be a simple Video Editor or I’m lost.

    FINALLY – FINALLY!!! I got one configuration to work.
    Now I can’t remember how I did it.
    Easy stuff for some people.
    Not for me.
