Windy wanted to know how many video were on YouTube.
I had to split my uploadeds between two channels because I got flagged for copyrights on one. So between The Walt Brownell that Dan and Kevin did and my two channels there is a total of 1526 Windy Videos.
Most of the videos are over 2hrs so roughly over 3000 hrs of stunt.
That number is close to what I had expected might be out there. I think there were something like 665 tapes in Walt's collection. I didn't want to take the time to see if there were any duplicates out there, as I figured the more the merrier! It would give people a better chance of finding them and that was what I thought was important. I got a note from someone at the time that they though Walt's collection was almost half of what Windy did. I have never seen a bibliography or list of everything and I don't know if Windy ever made one, but it would sure be interesting to see. I think the whole video thing got started with the Top Flight Nobler construction tapes in 1987, when Windy was out of work and had the time to do it and it took off from there. I can't really relate to when Walt started getting them but I think he was on a subscription, and then about the time that his fall off is when he had some of his first health issues. I think Walt only ever watched them once, and I had top rewind each and every tape in order to play it! I finally found a tape rewinder and it was the best 5 bucks I ever spent!!I had never really watched any Windy videos before that project. I just never had that much spare time, but i did watch quite a few of them as the played, and then as I checked out the file afterwards. It was going back in time!! I'll have to find some more time to check out the others out there and if anyone has any kind of bibliography or listing of them, I would like a copy!!
Type at you later,
