VHS ARCHIVE 1: AIR FARCE AND 22 MINUTES DECEMBER 1, 1997; JANUARY 12, 1998; JANUARY 19, 1998

When I was a teenager, I went away to a school for the blind and, during the week, my family would tape shows for me. Just as I have done previously with other people's videos I've gotten from the thrift shop, I will now go through my own collection of home recorded videotapes, in no particular order, and list the contents thereon.


 I would like to thank my mother, sister and late father for recording all this stuff for me.


This time, we have some "Air Farce" and "22 Minutes" from late 1997 and early 1998, recorded off Kingston, Ontario's then CBC affiliate CKWS-TV.
