A short clip of Hurt playing "Candy Man" is in the movie "Festival!" I like that some of this Newport footage is finally if very slowly seeing the light of day
Murray Lerner has more for sure, I spoke with him briefly when working on my Son House documentary. He was however, very protective, very overpriced and very unimpressed with my relative lack of experience and our correspondence did not last long. I don't wish to speak ill of him, his work is something I have enjoyed myself, and more is definitely surfacing, however I personally had difficulty working with him based on his view of me, which may have been correct in some respects.
This online archive however should be easier (with money) to work with as I believe it would be a primarily automated process. I was able to source all the HD clips of Lead Belly performing Goodnight Irene in 1935. 44 in total including over 20 of the song from different angles, with the audio in sync. Was great stuff and I wish I was able to share it. I did speak with user KingRoseArchives on YouTube as they have part of it posted to see if more could be posted to settle debate regarding Lomax's hand on Lead Belly's head that somehow became a race issue, but nothing came out of it.
As someone way too young to have seen any of my blues heroes, I cling to every bit of footage I can find.
