On a lighter note, this is a demo video I made, the first video ever, for
Bruce and Bongo for a song called Beer Happy.They went on to have some success
in Europe largely with a song called Geil. There is a cameo appearance on
my part.
There will follow a good many cine films on a diversity of topics. For example, Formula 1 racing in the 1960s, when one was easily able to go into the pits, something not so easily done now. Footage of well known drivers of their day will be made available.
I should be most grateful to anyone who can identify some of the footage shown relating to India.
The films and videos have been compressed, as otherwise the files would be of an enormous size, too large quite frankly to host. This has meant a small loss in quality. It is better therefore to view them on small screen, not full screen.
