I remember vaguely a photograph in an old copy of the"Folk Music Sourcebook" of Cat Iron standing behind a 
clapperboard.It must`ve been for this tv show.I wonder if the footage still exists or it is being streamed somewhere?.He was so under recorded it`s amazing to think there  was/is film of him.

Well, that's bloody tantalizing. I for one would love to see some footage of Carradine.

Quite a find there, and the episodes seem to be in existence... at least the sound of jazz episode is:



Not blues, but some great footage of basie and other greats nonetheless
...so blue I shade a part of this town.
