The rhythm and sounds of places where we’ve lived can evoke memories that are nourishing for the rest of our lives. One of those places for me was a hilltop cabin in Los Angeles’s Mount Washington.

A tribute to my father, Maury Nemoy, a beloved teacher who pioneered the revival of calligraphy in Southern California in the 1950s and designed movie titles and hundreds of record album covers.

Los Angeles 1971 - Wrong place, wrong time. Wound up in a jail elevator with two guards and three infamous inmates convicted of murder who all looked like me.  

Incredible as it seems, my life is based on a true story.
