It's amazing what you can do, just with the things commonly found around the household. Am I wrong, assuming everyone's household commonly yields a wood-pyramid metronome, ukulele, a banjo ukulele, an ocharina, a jaw harp, beer bottles, a few lengths of pipe and a 9in. splash symbol? Cause that's how we roll at my place. Regardless, I love this man. He's my new hero.

I'm sorry that I couldn't have let this man know how amazing I think he is while he is alive. That is the trouble with all eulogies, I guess.

RIP Sid. You were pretty incredible.

Just wanna say this short movie took him 4 years to complete, it was first of its kind and it was entered into the National Film Registry of America in 2000. Today we use softwares to cut and edit can you imagine doing this by hand with shitty equipment.

I saw this on TCM the other morning, and found this utterly fascinating. Thanks for posting.

Have you seen the short films he did about his life? Called the 'Sid Saga'.

His career went from being a one-man band on Vaudeville, to being an aircraft engineer and then an amateur filmmaker.  He made the films about his life at age 78.

I just watched this on television and had to see if it was on YouTube.

It is and it should be. Does it get any better?

The first time I saw Multiple Sidosis, laughed so hard I thought I was going to die. So long, Sid!
