My lovely dual cassette player died today. It had been faithfully serving me and my rare cassette playing needs since the last century, so though I am sad to see it go, I can't complain. Fortunately, the reason I bought it was to transfer some cassette recordings to digital formats I could post on the Internet and store electronically. I did most of that in 1999-2002 and then a bit more in 2012-2013, so I have all that done, but the cassette player's passing did remind me that I should finally get rolling on another archival project I planned on doing. Just like I had a stack of cassette audio recordings slowly working their way towards obsolescence and decay, I also have a stack of video recordings on VHS heading the same way. So before my VCR, purchased about the same time as my dual cassette player, croaks, I have started to transfer some of the videos to digital. This is the first one. Filmed in 1991, it is an episode of Musical Mayhem, a cable public access show from Defiance, Ohio USA (?), which featured The Escaped Fetal Pigs. Our friend Jimmie Frederick produced the show with a little help from our other pal Lisa Collet. This is the introduction to the show and features the band visiting a pig farm, among other fun bits.
The obvious, the inarguable

What a bunch of idiots we are, bragging about our silly stars and stripes,
our founding fathers, our ignored Constitution, and standing in shit where
there...
