Hi Bob and MaryBeth,
Well the guy had 100 percent feedback with like 2500 feedback. He use to run a repair shop but decided to go the internet rout. He gave me his phone number but I think and hope he will be alright. It should cost at most 400 each to fix both cameras. It was actually a defect on the cameras that Sony honored for two years on a free send in and fix but the cameras had to exhibit the defect before you could send them in. Two of mine developed it on Easter six months after the offer expired. One shows all red when I try to record and the other one is all Green. The 3 CCD's on the camera for red, green and Blue need replaced. My third camera I got a year after the first two and the problem was fixed by Sony before it was sent to me.
Below is my dream microphone in the U87AI Neauman:
It's a little steep though for one mono mic at 3,249.00, so I probably end up going with the below stereo matched pair by the same company for only 2,449.00 for two Neauman mics.
They are both known for their extreme warm rich sound. My audience microphone right now is so poor that I won't even share the last two songs from your concert on youtube or on the dvd. I pretty much want a pair of microphones that are on equal terms to what I get when I hook up to Don's sound board directly for voice clarity. I don't want there to be any drop off in the way the voices sound. I think I will post Balaam just for the heck of it on youtube, just so you can see how awful the voice quality was on it. It is just dreadful. I'm pretty much limited in using it now at the end of the songs for clapping. It may actually be broke as I think it use to record better than it is now.
Yes I know all about the Shakers having a pretty good knowledge of the history of the Pentecostal movement. We've got Quakers in Pennsylvania. After reading the description just now on the internet, I'm sure that people might accuse me at times of being a Shaker.
"The name "Shakers," originally pejorative, was derived from the term "Shaking Quakers" and was applied as a mocking description of their rituals of trembling, shouting, dancing, shaking, singing, and speaking in tongues (speaking in strange and unknown languages)."
I can tell you that the very first church I went to in Minot North Dakota for three years from 1987-1989 would have really been accused of being shakers as it was a Church of God in Christ Black Gospel church and the description above fits that church to a tee.
Love and Blessings,
Dan

Hi Dan,WOW ! I thought it would be weeks before you would be able to get the New Gloucester concert onto a dvd format . We have been enjoying all your fine work on your youtube page.Your new camera sure sounds nice. We don't even own a video camera, unless you count the teeney capability my cell phone has for a 15 second video recording............ ...and you thought your audio was bad : ) .....ha! How's the weather been where you are ? It feels more like what I would imagine Seattle or London would be like here in Maine. We have had weeks of rain. Bob's business has been affected by this, his being a contractor / painter..... .. but we have been able to do some work at the Shakers....Have you ever heard of them? I think the last living Shaker lives right here in New Gloucester.. ..I'm not sure if she is the last one in the world or just the U.S. I don't know alot of their history, but what I have gleaned has been interesting, although as a whole, their founder and her beliefs are a misrepresentation of the grace we now have. ( whacky rules and stringent protocol ) pointless. I hope you get your cameras back from repair in a timely manner. Were you able to speak to the man who'll be working on them? Did he have good feedback on his ebay page? I'm going to close this letter here................. .Deadliest Catch is on, this is the one show Bob and I watch together every Tuesday night. Take good care of yourself and thanks for all you do !

Hi MayBeth,I should have the concert I filmed of yours done on dvd in another day or two. All of the concert videos except for the last two encore songs are now posted on my youtube channel along with all of the songs from the Johnstown concert. RI is next and am already doing the beginning stages of recording each camera from that concert on to my hard drive for future editing.I received a High Def Sony camera HDR-FX1000 today. I can not believe just how much bigger it is than the cameras I filmed these concerts with -- three Sony VX2100's. The lens alone of the FX1000 looks to be twice as big as my other cameras. I sent two of my Sony VX2100's off today to a person in North Carilna to get repaired who had a posting on ebay. Please keep it in your prayers that he is an honest ebayer and sends my cameras back to me after he fixes them. If I get those back, I will have a total of 3 standard definition professional cameras and one High Definintion camera. I'm hoping to get enough money saved up to buy one more HD Sony HDR-FX1000 camera and a better microphone. I think I need a microphone that is at least in the 2000-3000 dollar range before I film any more of Don and Wendy's concerts or begin filming weddings next year. I'm not happy at all with the 600 dollar audiance microphone I used for all of these concerts.Love and Blessings,Dan----- Original Message -----From: dan76@atlanticbb.net Sent: Friday, June 19, 2009 12:33 AMSubject: Re: [don-francisco-fans] No posts
Also MaryBeth,If you send me your address to the below email I will send you an entire dvd of your concert including the lesser audio for Balaam and Brother of the Son when I get the entire concert finished for your memories of that night.Much Love and Blessings,Dan----- Original Message -----From: goldieSent: Thursday, June 18, 2009 9:52 PMSubject: Re: [don-francisco-fans] No posts
