My DAD started it by becoming a cartoonist at 13. He began touring vaudeville and burleque theatres when he was 17 (I have a MINSKY's program with Dad on the same bill as Phil Silvers and Sid Stone.) He also performed with the Three Stooges and Cab Calloway. When I was a kid, he would tell me stories, draw cartoons and do their voices.
No doubt about it, I was genetically incapable of not going into show business. Puppetry - - cartooning in 3D - - is my chosen art (that's me below manipulating Sammy Davis Jr. on my own Christmas Morning TV Special at WABC-Boston).
And now, my son Gabriel, is on another tour across America with his amazing band CONSIDER THE SOURCE. http://considerthesourcemusic.com/
From my Father to my Son through me.
THANX DAD!
