Greg Weaver Tribute



I had made arrangements to use the Hotel Grand, they have an old bar from the turn of century. I also arranged to borrow a super 8 bolex camera. Greg's girlfriend(Fran) was to be the flirt. The camera owner, the Grand owner and Fran all changed their minds. I shot behind Greg's studio on 10th St. using a kodak brownie movie camera and a woman friend of mine. Greg is the shooter. John Lotte is the victim.

    Cool video. My question is how did you go from "dial-up" and not knowing how to "Reply All" to posting video? This is a quantum leap ...

    thanks dottie, but unfortunately i haven't made the leap. 15 years ago i had the super 8 converted to video tape because it was drying out. the other day i have the tape converted to a dvd. my friend's son sent the dvd to youtube and then embedded the utube on my site. here, on my computer, i can't even see it. gotta go now, time for ozzie and harriet

    MM, this is a GREAT video! It shows the true culture in the
    70's. I was born in 1972 and couldn't experience the year as a mature individual, but the era seems to have been a time of creativity and awareness. I am trying to figure out which individual was you...
    Do you have anymore?

    Dottie, Every time I load a youtube video on my blog, MM moands and groans. He does not know how to "reply all"? Even with help, this is a quantum leap for M squared. It is one of the most original pieces I've ever seen. It may have been meant to capture a turn of the century period, but it captured the late 60s/early 70s.

    nice video MM. I half expected my father to go running accross the video screen, all the photographs I have seen of him circa 1972 look exactly like that.

    who did the first song that's playing?

    I meant to post this yesterday...

    I liked the video :) The first time I tried to watch it must have been during a YouTube down period.
