"Horn-Man" visits the Sons' Richmond Hill archive,
ca. mid-1980s, plays music, archivist messes with him a
little, some commentary. Not necessarily in that order.
I believe it was rejected from the Ham Harbor Film Festival
but then was thrown in the Cannes... cinema-verite category.
I think the camera operator, though having a prototype of
the steady-cam, to appear more 'verite' developed a
computer-generated-randomizer (CGR) to randomly
distribute varied weights around the steady-cam stabilizer,
giving the appearance of hand-held, even when using the
tripod. Some of the algoriithms of the CGR migrated to
LucasFilm via some ArpaNet hacking, and then got
distributed around the Hollywood set, leading to today's
CGI processes though the algorithm had to be modified
considerably.
Now what I want to know is who can identify that male
ballad singer near the beginning of "Discovering American
Folk Music" (ca. 20 minutes long)? It ends with a kind of
embarrassing folk-rock piece by Kaleidoscope (so this
could have been made in the age of excess -- late '60s
or early '70s), and I recognize the Georgia Sea Island
Singers, and the Amman (sp? is Aman) folk dance troupe,
in Western B-movie costumes, doing a running set with
a relatively young, mustachioed Stu Jamieson calling and
leading the set. Stu would've been based in Southern
California at that time. He told me once he'd done a film
with "South Wind" (???), a folkie dance troupe from
the Bay Area, I think, but he also said Richard Greene
was playing fiddle for the dance in that film, but the fiddler
here is definitely not RichieG.
I've thought of another film to maybe nominate for this here
award -- Memories of Prince Albert Hunt, by Ken Harrison.
He shot it on Super-8-Sound, as I recall, in the 1970s. I saw
it both Cleveland and Akron public TV about that time. It
looked like Super 8 alright.
"Lyric and Legend" might also be nominated. I think it was from
the early 1960s. D.K. Wilgus hosts some of the sequences
and it is introduced by Dr. Tristam Coffin.
That's all I have to say, for now,
ciao,
Kerry

"A cameo appearance in the human race." I like that. It would look
good on a tombstone.

Yes, and wouldn't it be nice if we could get copies of this. There was
some discussion of the film on one of these newsgroups some time ago,
and it appeared that no one could get his hands on it. I was paying
enough attention at the time it was shown to have gotten an audio tape
of it, which is actually fairly interesting; but I'd love a copy of the
film.

It's a natural for a movie title, maybe. But of course most of us do
walkons in the natural course of things, some few scenes more memorable
than others. My prospective epitaph has been "He was almost caught up,"
the optimistic sign of a legacy of partially-completed projects for my
heirs to figure out.
