Speedy and Friends

Mike Ihde · Post by **Mike Ihde** » 20 Feb 2006 6:34 pm

I have transfered my VHS collection of old TV clips to DVD. It now looks as good as the original VHS which is OK quality. The sound is very good.

Here's what's on it...

3 single song videos of Tennessee Ernie doing "classics" like "Shot Gun Boogie", a complete half hour episode of "Hometown Jamboree" with Cousin Ernie, a short film called Tennessee Ernie and Molly Bee in "Corral Cuties" All the above feature Speedy and Jimmy. Then a short movie called "Jimmy Wakely's Jamboree" with Noel Boggs, then 5 videos of "Smokey Rogers and his Cowboy Calvalcade" (in color!) Then, Merle Travis and the Travelers (with Speedy) doing 4 or 5 tunes All together it's an hour and a half of amazing classic country music from the 1950's. It's a glimpse into the simple, happy era of country music in its infancy.

Mike, I sent payment before you transferred it to DVD! I hope you sent me the DVD not the VHS (I would have to borrow a school VHS player to view it!) Can't wait to see it!

Tom, Yes. I sent the DVD. Thanks for the offer.

Mike, my $20 is on the way! I've pretty much worn the video out.

Mike, sorry to be a pain but is this available in pal format for us uk 'the starved ones' players.
I have just had a dvd sent from US, I notice postage was $1.70
Let me know if its any extra to UK, I'll then place my order

Kevin,
If I had a few more requests for a PAL version it would justify the time it takes to create one from scrtach.
Tell your buddies.

Hi Mike, does the DVD have the Slim Galliard footage that was on the VHS version? I lost my tape and may order the DVD. The Speedy & Jimmy stuff is excellent.

Thanks,

Steve H.

Actually I left it off because I didn't think anybody liked it. If you order the DVD I'll make you one with that one it.

Thanks Mike, I'll try to get a check with my request off to you this week. I miss that version of Flyin' High by Speedy & Jimmy.

Haere Mai,

Steve H.

Mike -

I just received the Speedy West & Friends DVD. I've played the whole thing, and it is a wonderful historic artifact. It also contains some great music, and it was a delight and an eye-opener to see how Speedy accomplished certain sounds. I was particularly delighted to see Les "Carrot Top" Anderson included in one segment.

Thank you.

I'm bumping this up because I'm still enjoying it.

Christmas is coming and maybe you wife needs a hint as to what you might like for a present. You can't go wrong with this classic DVD of Speedy playing with Jimmy and others.
