feeling of loss

I'm missing another person I never heard of before he was gone. From Animation Blast:

Another of the old guard of animation, Pete Kleinow, has passed away. He was both a stop motion animator (with Art Clokey), and a renown guitarist (with The Flying Burrito Brothers). He wrote the Gumby song and animated on the original Davey & Goliath. Kleinow did many commercials in the sixties and seventies (including Poppin Fresh, The Pillsbury Doughboy), and animated the robot terminator in James Cameron's THE TERMINATOR (1984). He also animated sequences for the Krofft's LAND OF THE LOST and Arnold Leibovit's THE PUPPETOON MOVIE. He passed away last Saturday night at age 72.

That's quite a resume. And I always wondered why that Terminator robot giggled when the kid poked him in the belly.

Flying Burrito Brothers. Gumby. Wow.

Wow, indeed. You're right. I don't think I ever read the man's name (at least to remember it) until just now. :-(
