It seems that someone had the idea of using a "wind up" 8 mm and 16 mm camera to stage a bunch of guys trying to keep pace with some 78 speed records.   My dad was involved in this effort.  He was the camera man for most of it although he appeared in some of the movies with his violin.

Between my dad and Emil (Sonny, as he was known to me as a kid) Pfeiler, there was a total of 10 movies made.  There were five movies from the 8 mm film that my dad had and five movies from the 16 mm film which were provided by Mary and Joe Pfeiler.   However, the movies shown here are just a sample of that total.

With either the 8mm or the 16 mm film, they would start the movies and play the 78 speed record trying to keep the two in sync.   My mother told me that this was only somewhat successful.

Although I am not a professional, I have used a computer to try coordinating the movies with the 78 speed records.

It should be noted that I have taken some license throughout the movies in that I have duplicated and deleted some of the film in an attempt to make the movies match up with the music.

Therefore, I apologize for the way that some of the video is "jerky" or sometimes has what seems to be "frozen" frames.  It became a real challenge to coordinate the old movies since they were not complete in terms of the music.

This video is the result of all this manipulation.

They called this the Horse Collars.

This is what we now call Music Videos.
