Someone messaged me about getting some nice stained-glass shots on video, so I've sent her this link.

The Main Disk features a history of IC parish, interviews with parishioners, Father CJ, Father Chris Malatesta, Father Gene, and nuns who taught at the IC and NDIC school, together with "Best Memories" and a look to the future of Our Lady of the Valley parish.
The 2-disk set (90 minutes and 120 minutes, respectively) can be ordered from Karen, at the Our Lady of the Parish Rectory, or direct from Fuzzy (413) 548-6804.

"Gazebo Nights" featuring local band Landsldye, Summer, 2008 (30 minutes)

2009-02-11T13:21:00.000-08:00

This was the first of a series of videos we did covering Easthampton's open-air concerts held on the rotary (Pulaski Park) last Summer.

The programme was shot and edited in in June, 2008, and was subsequently cablecast by a number of local Community Access stations.

The music of the local band performing, Landslyde, is a backdrop for an impressionistic presentation of the concert and of the townspeople in the audience (with occasional interviews) and of the town itself.

30 minutes.

If you like 'classic' rock'n'roll and people having a good time in the sunshine, you'll enjoy this!
