Tiny Moore on video

[crosspicker]

I'd like to see Tiny Moore in action. I notice there are some videos and DVDs of Bob Wills, Western Swing in general and Merle Haggard in concert available. Does anyone know if
there is any footage of Tiny Moore included on any of these videos or DVDs?

Well yes--There was an Austin City Limits program with the David Grisman Quintet opening for Tiny, Jethro and Johnny Gimble, also Tiny with Freddie Powers on another ACL. Tiny was part of Merle Haggard's 1970s video shot at the Hollywood Bowl, and some Nashville Network shows with a very young fiddler, plus a couple Bob Wills group reunions on the same network. Tiny was also filmed by someone who used to sell video of the Ashokan swing week get-togethers in the mid 1980s. I bet there is video of Tiny's early 1950 children's shows with his monkey Anna Bananna (really). --Joel

Thanks for the info, Joel. Do you know if there's anything currently commmercially available?

There is nothing from ASL from the Jethro, Tiny, Johnny show commercially available. I saw a tape copy of a copy of a copy and contacted ASL. There are all sorts of rights problems with releasing performances, I guess. It sure is a classic performance that needs to be in circulation.

It is circulating under the RADAR on an outstanding DVD....
