A nice already viewable documentary on Patrick Olwell...

Wow, no wonder it takes a while to get a flute from him. He’s out there with chainsaw and ax, getting at the heartwood himself. Geez…

Thanks for that Ted.

No joy with that link. . .Private Video :sniffle:

Bob

This video is private.
Sorry about that.

How can the rest of us see it?

I could see it before (watched it), but can’t access it now. Perhaps someone has changed the status on it.

Strange, I subscribed to dereeliums account but still can’t see the clip. So it’s really private :confused: Ah well it’s only 5 or so minutes long, but still I found this instead, some bloke playing an Olwell with Joe & Ann http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXL-gFTtgaI&feature=related

The Olwell magic - from a wood block to a concert flute
This video was produced to nominate Patrick Olwell for the National Heritage Fellowship for his incredible craftsmanship and artistic perfection …

My guess is that the person who made the video as part of a grant application promised that it wouldn’t be offered for public viewing.

I watched the video at that link yesterday and have watched it previously in the past. However, it looks likes the person who sent the video to youtube no longer wants to share it with the general public, which is, of course, their priviledge.

Having viewed the video yesterday, I think that a new, more informative and artfully done video of Patrick Olwell would be most welcome.

I’m in agreement with Doug. From Jem’s description of the project, it seems well planned and the fund raising goal is much less than what the entire production will cost.
