Okie-dokie; second try. If I do this one correctly (unlike last night's midnight boo-boo), new to the video memory banks will be a seven minute clip from the one and only Blackpoint Music Festival. Help is needed, though, to ID the year (either 1977 or 78?). I wasn't there for this event personally. Amidst the fuzzy pixels (haven't tackled the resolution issue yet) one may catch glances of Eleanor in gingham dress helping with the activities booth; is that Will Spires backing up one of the first bands? Also can see Greg Dana, LynnAnne Hansen, others whose names escape me, dancing off stage to the music of the 'Boys of the Lough' (sp). That's toward the end of the clip. Also Brian Patterson selling nuts to the crowd. Funny hat. IIRC (very fuzzy here) I *think* it was Karana Dayton (Northumbrian String Band) who headed up this event as music coordinator, or some such thing. It was a big stress on her, I think, for I don't believe I ever saw her or her band again at Northern Faires. Don't really know the full story, however. Anyway, it seems to be up loaded now. Whoo-hoo. If any one has memories, photos, scans to share of this event, please feel free to add! Love, hope, and harmony to all. Luisa, enjoying the green-green all about me.
