[AGL] 1999 Ghetto Reunion video

[Connie C]

Scott did his videography at the first one, didn't he? It may have been 98 however. I am pretty sure this is the first.

I somehow remember the first being in 1998, or at least that's what I've been saying for so many years. John's singing is still just as pleasing to me fourteen years ago as it was when I first heard him on campus and at various bars in the '60s--it even had a scratchy voice Tom Waits air to it. Great job, Joe Ben!

But for now it is all there. I will, as said, make you a copy of the DVD, soon as I learn how to do it on the equipment I have. That will include everything, even the (I counted) 5 persons no longer with us.

I thought I copied it and pasted right, but it looks odd to me, but what do I know. You can share portions of the video to someone else, starting at any point, if you know how to do that.  Do comment.

The music portion begins about an hour into it, but there are a couple of John Clay conversations and songs in the early part.  I will duplicate the DVD as soon as I can, and send it on to those who want a copy, otherwise, this link will give you a chance to look at it.  I enjoyed revisiting that life changing party.  Just think, we might not be talking and seeing each other today were it not for Tary getting us together on the river back in 1999.
