Music source and composer. Excerpted, mixed and faded.Seven supplied references show Michael and Ron Leikin: the current headshot, interview still, showroom portrait, two-person showroom photo, exterior photo, awards photo, and an earlier Ron portrait cropped from the supplied collage. Original copyrights remain with their owners; no open license is asserted. The interview still retains its CJN TV mark. Dates and provenance of supplied images are not independently authenticated.Nine new identity-referenced stills were made through Higgsfield’s reference-capable image generator (requested Nano Banana Pro; returned Nano Banana 2). Two historical illustrative stills were made with OpenAI ImageGen. Generated scenes are labeled “AI visual recreation”; they are not archival evidence or recorded customer encounters. The wash-bay image depicts present-day Michael symbolically, not him as a child. The film uses stills with linear zooms only; no generated video clips.History: Beachwood Buzz, June 2021, pages 20–21.
