Vintage Audio & Video

These videos are a combination of 8mm film dating back to the 1950's with vintage photos that are as old or older, mixed to compliment audio I recorded in the 1970's, except for ICTV 8, & Chris & Sinatra recorded in the early/mid80's. Each is a laugh!
Read the description of each to better understand what it's about.

Uncle Harry had boxes of recordings on reel to reel tapes of himself playing the mandolin. Sadly, the tapes along with his 8mm home movies & photos were discarded after he & Edna passed away.

Harry died in 1979. Seven years before in 1973 I recorded Harry performing his old favorites. This is the only tape we have of him. Who knew this would become such a priceless memory.
I'm playing guitar. George Cuatt is the "whistler." In the background you can hear my mother laughing, as most everyone else was in their tiny kitchen.

A footnote if not an odd coincidence. Harry, who was a mason by trade was struck by lightening when he was young. Working on a scaffold during a storm, the lightening struck the trowel, knocking Harry to the ground. It left him deaf in one ear which s why he cannot hear himself playing off key.

Part 1 includes the thunder incident. I also created one file (below) of just the thunder. THUNDER? Read the description.

Summer '73 at Uncle Harry's Part 1 plus thunder:


Summer '73 at Uncle Harry's Part 2:


Summer '73 Thunder.
A thunderstorm so loud it shook Harry's
mobile home. I stepped over to the window to record it.
My portable cassette deck with it's inexpensive mic recorded the thunder as
static. I can see this as I write it.
I'm looking at the window. There's a loud crackling thunder. I look to my right to see my mother
who was seated at the kitchen table between my sister Diane & someone else ( I cannot remember who that was). The thunder scared her so that she jumped over the other person landing on the floor.
Seeing this I ran into the kitchen, only to slip on the spilled coffee sliding right next to my mother, all the while keeping the tape running (First 10 seconds are static):
