[78-L] Scopitones, anyone?

[fnarf at comcast.net]

Maybe that's him. His scopitone compilation is VHS, though -- I just got rid of my player. Shame; he's got Francoise Hardy, Gale Garnett, Jane Morgan, Vic Damone, Debbie Reynolds, the Touchdown Girls (?) and Mr. Eraserhead (??) on his.

Morgan, Damone, and Reynolds and maybe others bring us back into 78-dom.

People who think the sixties was only about the Grateful Dead and Jimi Hendrix tend to gloss over stuff like this, which was actually much more prevalent.

Who is January Jones? The only one I know about is an actress on "Mad Men", and was born a decade after Scopitones died. Unfortunately, she's making it impossible to google the earlier one.

My old pal Dennis Nyback has been a long-time archivist of strange films, 
and he owns a whole load of Scopitones,  some of which he has forced me to 
watch.

His website is www.dennisnybackfilms.com  for those of you who might be 
interested.   He now lives in Portland so he may have had something to do 
with the Scopitone machine mentioned by fnarf...or should I say Fnarf?
