Camera used for this video

In 1975, I drove to Bean Blossom in a VW van to see
Kenny Baker & Bill Monroe.  When I got there I found
out that Bob Black was playing in the band too.  I happen
to spot a student from the Bloomington college TV station
walking around the park.  I wasted no time in negotiating
a deal ($$) to use his camera equipment on the following day.
The next day I set up the camera in the front row and began
filming the bands one after another.  These rather poor video
captures are from Bill Monroe & Bluegrass Boys'
and the Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mt. Boys shows.

My girl friend at the time thought that I had lost my mind, that
I was giving money away.  So when she realized that I needed
a sound person, she charged me $4.50/ hr to hold a mic
and keep people out of the way of the camera.

It was worth it!
