Farm Life Festival 2009 Part 1 Video

The Farm Life Festival was held on 10-11 October 2009 in Charlotte Hall, Maryland (USA). This impressionistic (as opposed to strictly documentary) video includes footage of steam engines, tractors, vintage autos and trucks, farm utensils, merchandise, and artifacts of daily farm life from the John K. Parlett Farm Life Museum. Part Two will feature additional scenes, including several Royal Lipizzaner stallions and some miniature horses, etc.

I'm converting completely to digital, but the Farm Life Festival videos contain some digital stills, some Flip video footage, and some scenes shot with my backup camera, a Sony Hi-8. Edited using Sony Vegas.

Music selections: "Down on the Farm" by Al Downing and the Poe Cats, "Comin' Round the Mountain" by Hound Dog Taylor and the House Rockers, "Country Boy" by Clarence "Frogman" Henry, "Farm Dell Rock" by Bo Toliver and the Party Timers, "Maggie's Farm" by Solomon Burke, and "Barnyard Stomp" by Jimmie Davis.
