Nov 28: The Seldom Scene Video 1983-84
During a de-cluttering session, Katy's husband, Bill, found a Betamax tape with the label "Seldom Scene 1983-84, Birchmere". They watched the tape and found what we think is a real treasure: A half-hour video of Seldom Scene music and interviews taped at George Mason University and the 2nd Birchmere in Arlington. Unfortunately, it is a 3rd generation copy and we couldn't find the original. Even so, we think you'll forget all that because the content is so wonderful. We are very happy to be able to present this video for its educational and historic value. Enjoy!
