Brother Theodore

Update: 1/27/2019 – The video I had here originally has been removed. I’ve replaced it with a preview from the filmmakers youtube account. I watch David Letterman from about fourth grade on and I remember seeing Brother Theodore on occasion. I’ve attached a series of those video clips from Letterman below. I looked back at my files to figure out why I had posted it and found an email from my brother with a short video attached with a synthesized jazz saxophone soundtrack. My brother was working on a film score for a friend who was doing a documentary on Brother Theodore. The details on that are available at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brother_Theodore#To_My_Great_Chagrin_documentary. I must have been thinking of these at the time because the next post was also about another mutual friend. Looking back at them now… it’s just small world stuff. I had another post about this too and I’ve consolidated the two of them and added a list of relevant links as a reference.
