I just got one of these cameras in a lot of cameras. It doesn’t seem to have a focusing lens or mirror. Do you know where to get parts? I’m having such a hard time finding information.
A student at the University of Washington that year, I was at this concert with a friend. We were completely blown away; I remember it as one of the best concerts of my life. With great foresight, the UW music department had various folk, jazz and blues musicians come to play on campus. They would film them performing in an auditorium in the music department.
what a pity that the song" v put" has be cancelled ! a real shame ! shame on the guy who canceled it ! Is it because of the war in Ukraine ? if yes ,it is so stupid !
Nobody can play autoharp like this . I fooled around with one in a music store once , they are alot of fun but to play one with this level of melodic accuracy is hard, most just strum chords but he is actually picking notes

I heard a story that Kilby Snow was playing with his children and he started playing on all of their autoharps one at a time. He was innovative! We follow rules with instruments, and it is so fun when we don't. I play a song called Kudzu Covered Land that I wrote by singing into a digital tuner and then writing down the note/chord. My song doesn't follow THE rules. I made a picture using musical notation after dreaming of the Titanic during the 100th anniversary of the sinking. Musicians told me all the mistakes I made. :)
I did find a newspaper from Feb. 12th 1970 that mentioned a live performance of Kilby Snow and Mike Seeger playing "mountain and bluegrass music" at the Court C Coffeehouse in Tacoma, WA on Feb. 18th. I suppose this footage could be from that but I suspect Kilby and Mike just put on a separate live show shortly before or after this performance was recorded.
