Luis that is great! Hector now owns a piece of Dragon history! Our pleasure and Glad you enjoyed ! Have a great weekend and see you Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short!
Hi Charles, quick story this magazine was in my household in the early 80s. I specifically remember the picture and thinking it was Bruce Lee’s tombstone myself for many years. Then I came across documentaries in the 90s and realised it wasn’t then maybe five or 10 years ago I stumbled on some footage Of Bruce Lee’s home, shortly after his death, and the tombstone could clearly be seen on his desk!! I was beyond shocked as the image of the tomb stone had been in the back of my mind, since I was a young child. So happy to see this video made about it. Thank you regards Nathan 🇬🇧
Nathan, thanks for sharing that great story. It’s fun when we can unravel the mysteries of our past when we were kids and not sure at the time would certain things were that were related to Bruce Lee and only years later it became more clear. Glad you enjoyed the episode and glad we can add some clarity to your Bruce Lee journey continued enjoyment on the journey and be well. Have a great Sunday.
Hi, charles & Hector & wow, this episode is one of your best! It blows my mind ! 😮 To see the pic of Bruce holding his tombstone, & knowing that Hector has one now ! Thanks Charles for allowing us the chance to see, all this. Forever grateful Michelle. H

Great episode guys. As collectors while collecting, whether it be books, magazines, figurines, baseball cards etc.., there is always a ‘holy grail’ of a collection and Hector my brother, you may have just pick it up. Outstanding piece and the history it represents with Bruce and George Lee and this goes to all Bruce Lee fans who are very fortunate to own this prize possession. Hector you are ‘the man’ my brother. Enjoy it and display it proudly. Charles, as always, outstanding job my friend. Take care guys😎👍🏽👍🏽✌🏽✌🏽.
Thanks Milt! I appreciate your kind and generous words! I have to admit that I’m very content owning this piece all thanks to God for His blessings. I consider this a gift from my beloved mother, she provided the funds for it and I’m forever grateful. And of course Steve Walling for agreeing to pass it on to me. Stay blessed my brother! 🤝🌟🤝🌟
Milt, well said. Hector did indeed get his hands on a holy Grail! A piece of dragon history! I must have for any serious collector and Hector happens to be that collector Milt. Glad you enjoyed the episode. Have a wonderful weekend brother and be well, thanks for always commenting, and continued enjoyment on the channel.
The generosity of Steve is amazing. He truly gives so much of himself to everyone. Hector is indeed fortunate to own such a wonderful piece. As I said in the LiveChat, if anyone wants a replica of the tombstone I'd be willing to make one for them. I have the exact dimensions from Steve and can now see everything in more detail than before. The one I made for you were simply that there were more photos available of the 2nd one back then. I was so pleased to make one for Sigung Richard. And for it to be at his memorial was an honour. An important part of Dragon history and in such good company with the other things Hector has. Superb.😁🙏🐉
JW thanks for sharing the information offer and your story. Steve is a wonderful person and Hector is very fortunate to have this piece of dragon history in his collection. Glad you enjoyed the episodes JW. Have a wonderful weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short be well.
That Tombstone is amazing, I bet Hector is nervous about picking it up as it is so valuable and well kept. It is older than me and looks fantastic still.

Really can't wait for this one. As you know its a great favourite subject of mine. I'm pleased to say that one of the other replicas I made along with yours was for the Tai Tung restaurant in Seattle. It is still on display there next to Bruce's table. Yet more Dragon history. 🙏🐉
@@Urbankungfu61 Wow Hector. I made four at that time. Spider had the other one. The size of mine was just guessed using many photos for reference. But I've since had the proper dimensions sent to me by Steve Walling taken from his miniature tombstone also made by George Lee. I don't think there are many of these around, so to have one is a great honour.🙏
Cool video very informative and what a brilliant gesture by Steve that's one awesome item Hector has now .I also have that cool magazine with original poster one of my favourites from the 70s all the best to you and Hector have a great weekend lads your Bruce brother from Scotland Pete
Peter I knew you have that vintage magazine! Great one! Glad to here you enjoyed this exciting and informative episode! Have a great weekend brother and see you Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee Short! 👍👍🙏🙏
Great to see you guys. That piece is amazing. Congratulations brother Hector on owning it. Steve is a great human being and true artist. (Steve, if you're reading this... You don't happen to have another lying around anywhere? 😂) I hope Steve is doing ok after the heart attack!! I picked up a George Lee book on fb market a year or two ago. Only cost me £2 When i received it, It was signed. No mention of this in the listing. Was very happy when i noticed. Have a great weekend my friends 👍👍🙏🙏😊😊
Thank you my brother! Thanks be unto God, Steve is doing well and painting better than ever! Your book sounds like a treasure! Always appreciate your support!
Draven Lee agreed! Hector now owns a piece of Dragon History! Wow glad you have the signed book by George Lee! Our pleasure and Glad you enjoyed ! Have a great weekend and see you Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short!
Hi Draven. I have made replicas of the miniature tombstone for Charles and Sifu Eric. They can been seen on the first video of our Bruce Lee day in LA . I also made one for Sigung Richard Bustillo and the Tai Tung restaurant in Seattle. Historically George made two versions. The first is like Hectors, and the second was shown in the magazine. They look very similar but the main difference is the chain. I have the exact dimensions sent to me by Steve and with this video I can add a lot more detail. If you are interested please let me know.👍
Such an interesting episode Charles! I love when Hector & Sifu Torres invites us into their homes.. Hector, I’m so happy for you in acquiring the Bruce Lee Tombstone .. I didn’t know what to expect from the title of the episode.. what a wonderful story! Now I understand the whole history behind The Bruce Lee Tombstone! Incredible!! Cherish Hector! What a beautiful gift from Steve Walling / George Lee.. Bruce Lee is smiling knowing that his replicas are in good hands! Thanks fellas.. always great to see you both! Take care Charles & Hector & Sifu Torres too! 🖤💛
Joanne thanks and os glad you are a fan of the channel and your growing interested in Lee is admirable! Glad you enjoyed the show! Have a wonderful weekend and see you Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee Short! 👍👍😃😃✌✌
I’m getting quite an insight into Bruce Lee’s life .. I’m a little late in picking up the pieces & phases of his short life.. but better late than never! Definitely tuning in on Tuesday! See you then Charles! You too have a great weekend!
Joanne, the miniature tombstone is a highly significant part of Dragon history. It came about after Bruce's fight against Wong Jack Man in late 1964. Although he won the fight, it revealed some serious flaws in Bruce's Jun Fan and his reliance on Wing Chun. He wanted a visual depiction of his rebirth as a martial artist and asked George to make the tombstone for him in January 1967. Sigung Richard Bustillo told me it was the first thing he saw when he entered the Chinatown school on the opening night. George Lee made two designs which are slightly different. The first one is like Hector's with the sink plug type chain. The second is slightly bigger with a figure 8 chain. Shannon Lee has both of them. The second one was on Bruce's desk in his Golden Harvest office when he died. Showing how much it meant to him. Hope this helps in your understanding of Bruce and his art.😁🙏🐉
AHHH ET VOILA' THE GREAT BRUCE VIDEO IS HERE...ALWAYS A MUST SEE...LA RIPRODUZIONE DELLA BRUCE LEE ORIGINAL TOMBSTONE DELLA SUA SCUOLA E' FORTISSIMA,UN MOMENTO STORICO DEL GRANDE BRUCE E DI TUTTI NOI APPASSIONATI..VERY GOOD,FROM MILAN WITH..FURY AND BE WELL..GOOO..

Charles, today is Brandon Lee's Birth Day as well as of mine. I am entering sixty six years of age today. I am elder than you a little over one year. I shall be very glad if I receive Greetings from the good heart like yours on this day.
Happy Birthday Thi. I hope you don't mind me adding you birthday greeting as well. I believe that through Bruce's influence, we have all benefited and lasted longer. I have often said to Charles that Bruce unites us all. Have a great day.🎂Just off to light some incense for Brandon and put by my pond. May be feed the goldfish too, they are named Bruce, Richard (Bustillo), Jerry (Poteet), Charles and Eric (Sifu Carr).🙏🐉
@@CharlesDamianoBLCThank you so much for having sent me birthday greetings. You are my source of inspiration. I am highly delighted on your quick response.
@@jwfloating-worldI have had the pleasure to my mind on receiving your good wishes on my Birthday. As suggested by you I lighted incense as a mark of respect and gratitude to that divine soul Brandon on behalf of our Bruce Lee's family. I am highly influenced by your writings about Bruce Lee from time and again for which all our viewers are grateful to you. 🙏

You don't happen to have another lying around anywhere? 😂) I hope Steve is doing ok after the heart attack!! I picked up a George Lee book on fb market a year or two ago. Only cost me £2 When i received it, It was signed. No mention of this in the listing. Was very happy when i noticed.
Have a great weekend my friends 👍👍🙏🙏😊😊
Thank you my brother! Thanks be unto God, Steve is doing well and painting better than ever! Your book sounds like a treasure! Always appreciate your support!
@@Urbankungfu61 Thanks Hector my friend. Have a blessed weekend 🙏
@@MrDravenLee You as well bro’. 🤝🌟🤝🌟
Draven Lee agreed! Hector now owns a piece of Dragon History! Wow glad you have the signed book by George Lee! Our pleasure and Glad you enjoyed ! Have a great weekend and see you Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short!
Hi Draven. I have made replicas of the miniature tombstone for Charles and Sifu Eric. They can been seen on the first video of our Bruce Lee day in LA . I also made one for Sigung Richard Bustillo and the Tai Tung restaurant in Seattle. Historically George made two versions. The first is like Hectors, and the second was shown in the magazine. They look very similar but the main difference is the chain. I have the exact dimensions sent to me by Steve and with this video I can add a lot more detail. If you are interested please let me know.👍
Happy Lunar New Year 🐲🐲🐲
Vincent, happy to you as well. Glad you enjoyed the episode. Have a wonderful weekend and see you on Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short.
Happy Year of the Dragon! Thank you for your support! 🙏
@@Urbankungfu61 Bruce Lee's Year!
Such an interesting episode Charles! I love when Hector & Sifu Torres invites us into their homes.. Hector, I’m so happy for you in acquiring the Bruce Lee Tombstone .. I didn’t know what to expect from the title of the episode.. what a wonderful story! Now I understand the whole history behind The Bruce Lee Tombstone! Incredible!!
Cherish Hector! What a beautiful gift from Steve Walling / George Lee.. Bruce Lee is smiling knowing that his replicas are in good hands! Thanks fellas.. always great to see you both!
Take care Charles & Hector & Sifu Torres too!

Joanne thanks and os glad you are a fan of the channel and your growing interested in Lee is admirable! Glad you enjoyed the show! Have a wonderful weekend and see you Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee Short! 👍👍😃😃✌✌
I’m getting quite an insight into Bruce Lee’s life .. I’m a little late in picking up the pieces & phases of his short life.. but better late than never!
Definitely tuning in on Tuesday!
See you then Charles!
You too have a great weekend!
@@joannecallan8527 well you a fast learning g and doing great and really beginning to learn the depth and genius behind the legend!
Joanne, the miniature tombstone is a highly significant part of Dragon history. It came about after Bruce's fight against Wong Jack Man in late 1964. Although he won the fight, it revealed some serious flaws in Bruce's Jun Fan and his reliance on Wing Chun. He wanted a visual depiction of his rebirth as a martial artist and asked George to make the tombstone for him in January 1967. Sigung Richard Bustillo told me it was the first thing he saw when he entered the Chinatown school on the opening night. George Lee made two designs which are slightly different. The first one is like Hector's with the sink plug type chain. The second is slightly bigger with a figure 8 chain. Shannon Lee has both of them. The second one was on Bruce's desk in his Golden Harvest office when he died. Showing how much it meant to him. Hope this helps in your understanding of Bruce and his art.😁🙏🐉

As suggested by you I lighted incense as a mark of respect and gratitude to that divine soul Brandon on behalf of our Bruce Lee's family. I am highly influenced by your writings about Bruce Lee from time and again for which all our viewers are grateful to you. 🙏

Larry thanks brother! Hope your well! Nice to hear from you and thanks for enjoying the episodes. I used to have that poster in my collection but sold it many years ago. I believe John Negron still may have it in his collection and I’m not sure if Hector has it in his. But what a great poster it is. From a great film, the Chinese connection. Have a wonderful rest of the week and see you on Friday for my next Bruce Lee episode. Be brother and see you then.
