Al
Have you thought any more about renting this film. My wife and I would
indeed be interested in viewing the video if you have the response that I
hope it would generate. Thanks and let us know

I remember talking with Bela about this shortly after he returned from
Africa (4 years ago?) at the Black Banjo Then and Now Gathering weekend in
Boone, NC. He also jammed at that weekend event with some of the Africans in
attendance.

Al, do you know what format this $250 rental is? Is it a DVD? I would guess
that at that rental fee, it might by 35mm sound film, in which case you'd
need to round up a 35mm theatrical projector and compatible sound system.
It's possible it is a 16mm print, however, and such gear is a lot easier to
find.

Thanks for researching all this,
Kerry

it would be of interest to our group. Given that West Palm Beach is a long
ways away, I have found out that the film can be rented for $250.

I am considering having a showing at my house kinda like a house concert. If
I got 25 people at $10 each it would break even. ANy profits could go to the
banjo society.

I live in Jacksonvile, which again is not a central location.
ANyone interested in coming to Jacksonville to view to view the film or
would someone like to host this in a better location?"
