Among the effects of my Father, Dan McLaughlin, left amongst the paid newspaper subscription bills and bbq grill ads, an audio cd entitled "Audio CD." It is a recording he made of the films he made and appeared in made on the occasion of his retirement from UCLA.  The first film he talks about, The Extra Life of an Animator, was a compilation of the films he appeared in an an extra, and is subdivided by the name of them film. This portion of the cd are stories that did not make it into that film. Then follows a series of discussions of his own films. The sound files here are presented in the order that appear on the cd. Some of the gaps between stories have been edited, well because.

Please feel free to download.
