A lot of their titles are copied from VHS and some have been recorded from television. I have several shelves of their DVD-Rs. The quality can vary, but most of the time I've been quite pleased. This film is very watchable. No, I'm afraid I don't remember Hootenanny on Saturday night. When I was a kid, ABC didn't come in very well, only when the wind was blowing in the right direction! My dad saw to it that we were a CBS family. Every once in a while we MIGHT switch over to NBC. PBS? Forget it. I don't know very much about Gram Parsons or the Flying Burrito Brothers, but I do love Buffalo Springfield. I'll explore Parsons' music on Youtube. I've probably heard a lot of it over the years but wasn't aware of the artist. I love folk music as well. Judy Collins was always a big favorite, and I saw her in concert back in 1976. Thanks again, Roger, for taking the time to visit my blog. I really appreciate it.

I imagine you have a DVD that now appears to be OOP and unavailable at least on Amazon. No streaming services but youtube had a version that was at least watchable. Great seeing how youthful everyone looked. Joan Baez especially and her amazing voice. And with sister Mimi recently widowed from Richard, they had a folk duo themselves.<br /> I was a big folk music nerd in the 60s. Do you remember Hootenanny every Saturday night on ABC? Never missed it. While checking the credits (and discovering that almost everyone is still with us) I saw Gram Parsons listed as uncredited. I didn’t spot him. He is one of my all time favorites- Wild Horses for the Rolling Stones, Hickory Wind when he was with The Byrds, amazing albums with The Flying Burrito Brothers, then his solo albums many duets with Emmylou Harris. And before CSN&Y we had Buffalo Springfield with Stills and Young. You again have jarred my memory bank. Those days are more vivid to me than last month! Great entry.Roger Kirbynoreply@blogger.com
