Morris video on demand...

I have two full VHS tapes I've dubbed from Paul's original footage. I can let you watch it via Yahoo's Instant Messenger! You won't hear any sound unless you call me; I will set the phone so you can hear the tv which is close by and can be turned up enough so that you can hear things. (Hopefully they won't get out of sync...)

E-mail me at a little in advance so I can show what you want when you want it.

Any questions, please feel free to get in touch. Enjoy.

Here is what I have available right now. Anything else listed on this site can be seen if you give me enough notice. I have to borrow the original tapes from Paul Kerlee.

My Morris videos available for viewing online.

***
If you want any of this footage dubbed off...

I'm asking for $10 for every 120 minute cassette I use or $5 for every DVD. Also added on will be the cost of a mailer and postage. I'll record at SP unless you ask for EP, the slower speed.

I should remind you this is amateur ftg. It will come from as close to the original ftg as I can get, transferred without enhancement, so don't expect perfect visual clarity. (Video does suffer when dubbed. Audio though will be as good as the original.) If you are dissatisfied I will be happy to just charge for the postage/envelope. OK?

Does that sound fair? I'm not in this for the money unless there get to be lots of requests (and it takes more of my time.)

***

Here is what Paul Kerlee and John Lippincott have as video footage of either Mianus River Morris and all the events we've taped (Neffa, Ales, Ale skits, etc) or other Morris ftg.

See my DETAILED LOGS for much more information or write John L for more info on the contents of any of these or let me know what you are looking for and I'll see if we can find it.
