Thread Name: Elton Britt - seeking video footage
Subject: RE: Elton Britt - seeking video footage
Paul, it is possible that I have a video of the Jimmy Dean show. I will have to do some searching and I am not sure whether some of my old videos will still play. I will just have to look. This may take a little time as the videos are boxed and stored. I remember having seen Britt on either a Jimmy Dean show or Town and Country or some such show telecast from Washington, I think. I taped some of those shows.

Do you know Kevin Coffey? Kevin was going to continue the biography of Britt that Bill McNeil started. I think he now has most, if not all, the materials Bill had gathered.

If you would like, I will be glad to drive over to Marshall and see what materials they may have and see if there are any videos in that collection.

There is also another possibility for information. At one time there was a group in New York, called the Friends of Elton Britt. I had contact with them at one point and may be able to reach one of the principle organizers of that group. Unfortunately, several folk in that group are gone, but when they were active they were gathering whatever they could on Elton. I believe they even had a publication. If interested you can email me at elliott.hancock@gmail.com and I can give you a few names.
