For those of you who are interested or follow this blog like the plague. I’m in the process of editing, and uploading brand new graveside footage to my You Tube page. At the moment I have three brand new graveside documentaries I’ve recently edited, and uploaded to You Tube. The first graveside documentary is on R&B musician Otis “Lightnin’ Slim” Hicks who’s interred in Oak Hill cemetery situated on University Drive, in Pontiac, Michigan.
Moving along the next graveside documentary I recently uploaded to You Tube is the new series I’m working on titled “Gangsters In Granite”. In Volume I of this inaugural series we visit the grave sites of gangster John Reid, and Purple Gang member Harry Keywell. John Reid is buried in Evergreen cemetery situated on Woodward Ave, a block south of Woodlawn cemetery in Detroit. Harry Keywell is buried in Machpelah Jewish cemetery also situated on Woodward Ave, but can be found in fashionable Ferndale, Michigan.
The third grave site documentary I edited/uploaded to You Tube is the documentary “Actors Abound” in this documentary we visit the grave site of multi-talented actor Frank Nastasi. Known for being a well rounded puppeteer on childrens TV shows back in the 1950s and 1960s. He also appeared in several movies, as well as on broadway/off-broadway stage performances of musicals, and plays, among other acting roles.
Another grave site we visited in the “Actors Abound” documentary is Tom Tyler who was an actor in B-grade western films throughout the 1920s up until the late 1940s.
Finally for some odd reason I can no longer embed documentaries I’ve uploaded to You Tube on this blog. With that said I’m in the process of purchasing a domain name for this blog. When I do that I also plan to buy the service where I’ll be able to upload videos I’ve made directly to the word press site for this blog. When I start uploading videos directly to my blog I’ll also be uploading them to my You Tube Page as a back-up site. So with all this said in regards to not being able to embed the videos I’ve made for this blog. Please click on the You Tube links I have throughout this post.
